Second Skin

I just watched a documentary film titled "Second Skin".
It was about addicted video gamers, playing for 11 hours or more a day.
Some of these gamers met another in a game, of the opposite sex most definately, and formed a relationship in real life.
Some played so much that they became depressed and wanted to take their life.
Some played because of a disability in real life, and the virtual worlds gave them more freedom.
Some played and ruined their relationships, jobs, family life.

A point was said toward the end of the film. If people are turning to these virtual worlds by the millions, what does that say about the real world?

I think this is a sad fact.

God's awesome, wonderful work!

Here is an excerpt from an email that a co-worker has sent to me:   “ What church do you and your wife go to? I have been thinking alot lately about going to church. I have never really attended church and don't know much about the bible. But I have a desire to know. I feel strange just waltzing into a church and being lost.”   How awesome is the work of the Lord! And that we can take part in it! Woah! Alleluja!

I no longer make the best fried fish

Last night for dinner I made some fried fish. Aliza said it is the best fried fish. This morning, it is the first thing she said also, "Daddy, you make the best fried fish". I hugged her, and we went downstairs. It's Monday, so I'm getting some things ready before I head out the door, and she asked for some chocolate covered pretzels...I gave her a couple and she cries out for more. When I denied her request for more, she cries and yells "You don't make the best fried fish!"
