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!
Amazing! We came to church today, and Jessica was feeling down. During the sermon, which was about faith, a statement was said by the pastor about not dwelling on the past, nor "what if's". In this statement, God had put on the pastor's heart to say a series of "if we had only..." statements, and one of them was "Do not say, 'if we had only stayed in Texas, things would be different'..." As the pastor said this, Jessica and I looked at each other, as we could relate :) Allow Peace and Love to dwell in you!

To work on time

I had the intention of leaving to work on time this morning, but I left late because the freezing rain last night froze my door shut, and windows required heavy scraping. I was able to get in the car after some prying, and scraped a "hole" big enough to see ahead of me through the windshield (not best practice). After asking the Lord for help in getting to work on time, I arrived safely, and with a minute to spare :) Praise God!
