A Talking Dummy.
I got teary eyed the other day watching a ventriloquist DVD of all things. I first scoffed at the idea of watching a ventriloquist perform--I mean, how much interest can there be over a guy not moving his lips? Well, this ventriloquist happened to be one with a Message attached to his theatrics, packaged in a show not only meant to entertain, but to communicate, if you know what I mean.
All this to say that Truth, however it's declared, is powerful. Perhaps it's the absence of Truth here that makes me appreciate whatever form it's transmitted. I think I just might break down the next time I'm in some Corporate Celebration at home.
