Last week there was a truly cyber-age story.
James Howells, an ordinary guy from South Wales, discovered to his horror that he had thrown his old hard drive into the trash; a drive that contained $ 7,000,000 of bitcoin currency.
You may ask what a "bit-coin" is.
In it's simplest form it is a new type of trading currency that has been circulating through the inter-net for the last five years.
One "coin" is worth about $1,000 and, since Howells had invested in 7,000 of them, he threw out about seven million dollars when he put his hard drive in the garbage.
The trove is now under a mountain of trash in the Newport City dump, available to any one who wishes to start digging.
But there is a moral to the story.
Jesus said " What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world but lose his own soul."
Like cyber bit-coins the human soul has no weight or measurement.
A minute after death the human body weighs exactly the same as it did two minutes before. But something fundamental has happened. The soul of the man has departed. His "bit-coins" have been cashed in.
Make sure that before that moment comes you deposit your treasure safely in the Hands of Jesus Christ.
Jubilate.
