Momentous Events and Profound Thoughts


Tell me what you think:

July 20, 1969   Today at 3:17 Apollo 11 landed on the moon.  Tonight the three men will come out.  It’s so exciting that man has landed on another world.  I wonder what God thinks of the people he has created?
Sometimes I think man is too far advanced that perhaps he will destroy himself.
Yesterday my father bought me the book “Anne Frank: The diary of a young girl”.  I think it is a very good book.  For a girl of 13 she is very wise.  And she thinks like me.  I couldn’t resist taking a peek at the back of the book and I think it is sad that such a young girl should die.
First of all, I am shocked at myself for having looked at the back of the book because that was and is something I never do!  Something must have made me anxious or Dad may have said something that twigged ‘spoiler alert’.  As for the comment “she thinks like me” it is something I think anyone who kept a journal as a teenager sounds very much alike.  It’s about them and usually a bit of a hate on for their mom.
At this time in my life I was still very much a believer in God although I seldom wrote about it.  We never were a religious family but my parents did teach us to believe in God.
