The Plight, not the Flight of the Midway Island Albatross.

Revelation 19:11-21

17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, ‘Come, gather for the great supper of God, ¹⁸to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of the mighty, the flesh of horses and their riders—flesh of all, both free and slave, both small and great.’


It's an old story but I only heard about it for the first time yesterday, The Plight, not  the Flight of the Midway Island Albatross. Photographer Chris Jordan taken photographs of baby albatrosses on Midway Isaland, erroneously fed plastic by their parents. Not a very nutritious diet for a growing bird. Midway Island is thousands of kilometres from the nearest land but currents bring our reject plastic bottle tops and toothbrushes, lighters and plastic bags to the albatross feeding area. Lighters look a little like squid, the parents thought they had a treat.

Louis Evely wrote in In The Christian Spirit "To love God is to love the world. To love God passionately is to love the world passionately.To hope in God  is to hope for the salvation of the world." By world I do not know if he meant mankind or the whole created world. I like to believe that it is both and that we need to be a caring example in our husbandry of the planet and our loving of souls.
