My CMS The View from a New City

Long ago I liked a Bing Crosby song that had this line in the lyrics:

Would you like to swing on a star, carry moon beams home in a jar, and be better off than you are, or would you rather be a fish.

This line came to me when I was thinking about the term “click bait.” The “fake news” created by Hollywood and social media is designed to grab your attention and make its creators money. The truthfulness of the content is of little or no concern.

Do we seek for the truth, or are we merely fish who take the bait.

Matthew 7:

13 ¶ Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
