The current scare of a swine flu pandemic brings to mind the story of the Prodigal Son in Luke's Gospel. I think that trends in our society are basically rooted in the prodigal son mentality; the idea of finding freedom with out God and the anything goes mentality. We know where the prodigal son ends up, tending the swine. If we hang out with the swine long enough we're bound to catch some of their diseases. Could this be a wake up call to return to the Father? We know what His response will be:
While he was still a long way off, his father caught sight of him, and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him and kissed him. LK 15:20
