... that some people have no concept of safety, either for themselves or for others they are around. On Friday I saw a lady in a car behind me with a Starbucks coffee cup in one head, a cigarette in between her clenched fingers and a cell phone glued to her right ear, held by her other hand. She had no hands on the wheel. Thankfully, she was stopped on a busy road, waiting just like me for a car ahead to turn left.
... that even animals have a concept of growth and learning. Yesterday Megan and I went to the Fort Worth Zoo on another photography trip and we had a blast watching the tiger cubs and the lion cubs interact with each other. In the case of the Malaysian tigers, the mother was playing with her three cubs and appeared to be teaching them the basics of survival. She taught them how to fight, how to defend themselves, how to climb trees, how to be careful around rocky ledges, etc. It was really cool to watch.
... that the Law of Moses was like a parent raising a child. It had great value for teaching the child righteous living and restraining their independent spirit until they could control it, but once the child became an adult and left home, the laws have no more power. The child is no longer under law. Now they have freedom. And they can choose to live out the right things they learned under their parents' laws or they can run the other way. The choice is theirs.
