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.

Sermon notes from Citw

Joy to the world the Lord has come Based on psalm 98 God’s promises are truly,  unlike men's promises. His second coming is at hand. 2 Peter 3:9-11 He's waiting for us to speed the Gospel. We are stewards of the mysteries. Have you been faithful in that stewardship? Live a life of evangelism. Share the Gospel. Christmas is a good time to also celebrate Christ's second coming. The celebration has been twisted by Satan to become commercialized and a frantic,  stressful time. The Lord's second coming should not be a fearful awaiting... Stashing food and weapons... But you should love His appearing. Rev 21:4-5 1 Cor 15:58 Rev 20:9 Always examine your life in light of his return. Acts 1:11 Live with intensity. Are you going to live knowing that Jesus could come back this year? Will you live this new year like you lived this past year? If so, you're likely to get the same result. The saved are born twice and die once and are raised in the first resurrection...

Today

Today David my brother in law who is visiting us for the summer, found a ticket on the train to Chicago. Soon after we arrived and left the train, a man came up asking for help in buying a ticket for the train. David had one! Praise God that this you g man now had this ticket, as God provides opportnities like this to impact the world in a positive way. Mom Reyes, my mom in law, told me a story about a homeless veteran who died outside in the winter months in Alexandria. She said that he was offered help and was off the streets for six months, but after that time he was back homeless. Mom said that the man, Jimmy, may have had trouble with his mind. He may have had trouble keeping a job in his state of mind. That's tragic.

Today at work, I was searching for a solution to a project, regarding calculating of shipping to Canada with Google Checkout, and was browsing in FireFox, with some search results open in a window. I was then about to open up an Internet Explorer window, which had some examples to resolve the issue at hand, though in XML code, which was different than what I use at work, but felt in my hear not to open that window, but to continue searching in FireFox. After continuing to search in FireFox, the next search result I opened included an example to Canada with the code which I use. Weeeeoeoeoeooewoowowowowowowoow owwoowowowo. Obedience to the Lord is woowowowowoowowoeooeooeooewoowo eowoowoeoowowwwowowowo awesome.
