Unlike more brash words a friend of mine used recently, I do not believe that technology in itself is potentially evil. Granted, like everything else in this life, it can be used for evil intentions which I would have to agree on. However, as impersonal as technology often is, we as a society, especially here in the Americas, we have turned it into an essential and integral part of their way of life.
At the same time, people recognize that different generations have different levels of familiarity with various technologies. Facebook and other social networking websites preceding it have often replaced pagers and other traditional forms of communication. On the other hand, sometimes whether it comes in the form of greeting cards or even the convenience of shopping at home, I still prefer actually seeing a courier come to my door so I can 'talk' face to face with a person who delivers things to me. It feels I guess, more justifiable. Like when you think about all those people who have had a 'robot' take away their jobs and you think, regardless of whether some postal workers make a ridiculous high government salary, at least God has given them a productive place in society through that you know?
I may add more to this later, this is a good 'teaser' for now, but today's a special day and I feel like I will start a new chapter on my book called 'resisting the evil one' based on Matthew 1 and Mark 4. =)

A courier just came to deliver a new keyboard for my brother Kenneth according to my mom...that's what she thinks is in the package.
For the record...the Minnesota Miracle Man taught DT 'how to fly' WOOOOOooooo....
Why do we sleep through Church, But stay awake through a 3 hour movie? Why is it so hard to talk about God, but so easy to cuss?Why is it so easy to ignore a Godly bebo bulletin, Yet we repost the nasty ones? Why are churches getting smaller, But bars and clubs are expanding? Why is it so easy to purchase beer and drugs? But so hard to donate 25 cents for a Charity? Why is it so easy to worship a Celebrity? But very difficult to engage with God? Think about it, are you going to put this on your channel? Are you going to ignore it, cause you think you'll get laughed at? Put this on your channel....seriously. 80 % of you wont put this up. The Lord said: If you deny me in front of your friends, I will deny you in front of my father.
