Lasting Change and Hard Hearts

Hard times often bring change. That is when we realize what is really important, and often get rid of the things or habits that are not important or even harmful. Times like great depressions and wars often usher in this change for a people as a whole, bringing families together and back to God. The attacks of 9/11 are a stark representation. The kind of change and how long it lasts reveals a lot about the person. Unfortunately, the end of the hard times can also bring an end to the change.
