This was in my email today and it touched me deeply
THE LOST.. The LOST...

I thought you might be interested in the following. It was a dream that I feel is an admonition to todays' church.
Going With The Flow
I saw a wide stream flowing past where people stood on either side.
As the murky black water neared a precipice it flowed faster and ran deeper. A strong undertow drew it to the point where it roared headlong over the edge.
In the gathering darkness, which made the stream appear even blacker, a girl came drifting past. Those watching saw her, and from where they stood, could quite easily have grabbed her before she reached the rapids above the falls. But they didn't.
They murmured and pointed, even referring to her by her name, but not one ventured to help pull her out of the currents' ever increasing strength.
They were still pointing and murmuring when she tumbled over the falls and was gone.
One piercing scream drifted back to their ears and for a brief moment, they looked a bit distressed. But, it was a very brief moment indeed and then they simply picked up where they left off - murmuring and pointing as yet another person drifted into view.....
