I had a dream, and I don’t use this tweaked famous phrase to shore respectability to what I have to say. I really had a dream, in fact, I had one last night.

In my dream, my friend and I were gazing on to a highway from the window of a high rise. And there playing out in front of us was a road rage. A blue Sierra almost side swiped a burgundy Buick, and so the Buick stepped on the gas to get even with the Sierra. Since the highway stretched straight ahead, we were able to get most of the outrageous action; enjoying vicariously, even taking sides, he the blue, and I the burgundy.

In the middle of this high speed rage, my friend turns to me and says that that burgundy Buick has been sold, and that the family of three is heading back to India. Before I could ask the reason for his pontificatory smugness, he shows me on his iPhone the details. He had zoomed in on the license plate, did an advanced search and zoned in on the family blog, all during that brief period I was taking in the vehicular depravity of the modern man.

I was intrigued, and wanted to see what else their license plate revealed. I was surprised to find that YouTube already had a video with seven ‘likes’ of the very chase we had just witnessed. My technological baldness was showing up in spite of the comb over. He confessed rather magnanimously he had just posted it and twittered it all his friends. That explained the ‘like’, but I wasn’t sure if I liked the information process flow of all this.

I wanted to check how pubic our private lives really were.

You bet I googled my own license plate, and I guess you will too; only to realize that ignorance is still bliss in this 21^st Century era of post-ignorant world.  Closets long forgotten were being magically opened, in spite of lost keys and forgotten passwords. As the contents spewed out of control, I couldn’t help in spite of my embarrassment wonder at the ‘Googlization’ of my private world.

My thought was Google knew.

The visual helped clarify that if Google knew, more so my LORD.

So what do I make out all this?

It wasn’t Google that makes closetless living necessary, it only helped in visualizing it. This has always been true of mankind before God, since sins began.

Bible says, “Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if [there be any] wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139: 23-24.

I understood here that it is better for God to search and clean than for Google to search and publish.
