Just this week he laid out his plans to dig tunnels under our busy streets to allow for his Tesla cars to go 124 mph and beat the traffic mess above. He launched a secret spy satellite for the US government earlier this week. He plans to build three or four more battery factories to produce more batteries for his cars and for our homes. He is leading the way with faster travel with a hyperlink track right down the side of one of our streets. When the protestors last week held up signs saying, “There is no Planet B”, they must not have heard that Elon will soon have an alternative planet for us to live on, Mars. So, if our smog producing cars do destroy this planet, we will have an option. Mr. Musk has also dabbled with computers reading our brains. Just think, I wouldn’t have to sit here and type away, my mac computer would write all about cold ones since I’m always thinking of ways to weave a cold one into my story. Seems like Elon can make our world a lot better with his ideas. There is one thing he cannot change or overcome. He, along with the rest of us, are all aging. We all must face the fact that we are mortal. All the improvements that we can ever dream up will not change the fact that some day we will die. What then? Most people don’t like to think about death let alone talk about it. But it is real. I believe there is only one name in heaven or on earth that can save you and me and the entire world. Yes, we can enjoy the ride. We can have a cold one or two. But put your trust in God’s amazing power and grace. He saves.
