Sweeney Todd is a movie. I never really understood it, but it had some great lines. At one point, in bizarre conjecture, Johnny Depp sings to his Mrs. “What is that sound of crunching I hear? Why, it is the sound of man eating man, my dear… and who are we to deny it in here?” With that, he enterprises to begin making grand profit selling English meat pies of questionable content.
The world is a fallen place. While we are grateful for the generous daily mercies of our heavenly Father, any person doing business in the world today knows that there is a lot of man-eating-man going on out there. In fact, the whole enterprise of business is eating people alive today, right in the streets of Marion County! How do we respond to that? How do we process the world’s treatment of us, particularly when we don’t get what we want? How do we face the circumstances of our lives being turned upside down?
