We had run from the Soviets for several months, found a place in the heart of Germany just in time for my brother to be born. It was in the afternoon while I had to hold my brother that I heard a commotion in the street. I opened the door and a strange soldier pointed a gun in my face and said, "boy, baby." Our liberators, the Americans had arrived. We put out white sheets as flags and cheered. One soldier spoke Polish and we were right at home. Only by nightfall, the Americans withdrew and a month later they handed our territory over to the Russians and we were on the run again. From then on, my family hoped to move to the country that liberated us. We all made it to Canada and then I came to the U.S.A. alone.

The story about Noah and the Flood was caused by man's inclination to do evil all the time, (Gen.6: 5). That tendency begins in childhood (Gen.8: 21). It is equally present among the godly and the un-godly (Gen.6: 2, 4). When the two merge, a new breed emerges with a new taste for sin and they declare it legal (Gen.6: 4; Ro.1: 32).
