If anybody knew anything about this, it was King Solomon, the wisest man that ever lived. We may think what we're doing is new, but in all sanity, nothing is new.

It's good I had a cup of coffee with me because as I sat there, I was
trying to calm myself down. If this world is not insane, then I am. 

I noticed a young guy coming down, talking like he was on the radio. He
talked and laughed and talked and laughed, and I thought maybe this guy 
had had a little too much "whatchamacallit" to drink. 

I noticed an attachment to his ears with something coming down the side
of his chin. As he walked by, he continued talking. It was then I 
noticed something rather strange. This young man was talking on the 
telephone. 

At least, that's what I called it. But, of course, I don't know what you
call telephones today, and I don't know how they work. But this young 
man seemed to know how it worked and was working it to the end. 

Oh, if only my grandpa could be sitting with me right now and saw what I
saw, he would have had quite a few words to say about what he saw. 

I finished my coffee and then got up to leave and go out to my vehicle.
As I drove home, I thought about what sanity and insanity is all about. 
What is right in one generation doesn't seem to be right in the next. 

A favorite verse of Scripture came to my mind as I was driving. "The
thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done 
is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun" 
(Ecclesiastes 1:9). 

If anybody knew anything about this, it was King Solomon, the wisest man
that ever lived. We may think what we're doing is new, but in all 
sanity, nothing is new.
