RE: Whispering Hope 8 - Odds and Ends Gone Missing...

I think the closest I can come to imagining the interplay between the familiar and the new is to trace the implications that autonomous cars will have on our daily life. No need to own cars, just rent them - order them up like Uber - no garage, no traffic jams, no outlay on vehicle maintenance, washing the car, changing the snow tires etc etc No drunk drivers, greatly reduced automobile accidents and death - it goes on and on :)

That's a pretty good effort, John...

Autonomous vehicles will certainly have all those beneficial effects in the present age, assuming we're around long enough to enjoy that advancement.

One thing I've imagined in stories I've written in the past are "angels" being tasked with being our vehicles... Custom-designed beings who are a combination of chauffeur and vehicle all rolled into one... ;)

that's an intriguing concept - you may have invented a whole new genre- Christian science fiction,except the science isn't natural science but metaphysics. Write a story about that last line re angels as spiritual autonomous vehicles - a kind of Kitt in Knight Rider saga in the spirit realm

Hey there, John,

Thanks, I appreciate the encouragement.

The bible really is full of information suggesting things like this - have you read the first chapter of Ezekiel lately? ;)

And "angel" is really a very generic term for messenger, or agent. I'm sure the LORD has lots of "custom designs" we haven't seen or heard of... ;)
