Thus it was written in the epistle of Art Bahrs,

>      I think those of us who been around a while are definitely more easily
> amazed than those who have grown up in this current age!

I'm afraid this is probably true.  Treasure it.  We "who have grown up in this
current age" have in general lost the sense of wonder.  Every once in a while I
stop and think about the things we take for granted--that I can push buttons in
my office in Tennesse and transmit my thoughts, almost instantaneously, to my
friends in Thailand (do you realize how many hours of work by people I have
never met goes into getting one packet from here to there?)--that I can go to
the store and buy apples which grew in Washington state--that for less than a
dollar I can send three letters to three separate destinations thousands of
miles apart.  The reason we aren't impressed, I think, isn't that things aren't
impressive, but rather that there are so many miracles going on every day that
were we to be amazed at all the wonders, we'd go into overload and get nothing
else accomplished.

P.S.  The really awesome thing is that what the Good Lord has had going for a
long time in nature puts all of man's accomplishments to shame :-).
