DYSTOPIA

Last week I spotted a word I had never 
seen or heard before: “dystopia”.

It’s hell! It’s a place of depression.

The dictionary says it’s an imaginary
place. They got to be kidding. I’ve met
people who live in Dystopia. I don’t
know its zip code - but I suspect from
listening to them it can be anywhere.

Thinking about it. I rather live in
Utopia, even if its imaginary. It's
the Kingdom of God. It's Heaven.
It's the dream of Jesus for all of us.
