Wow, Phil – that is really powerful. Made me really think about the messages I’m giving my kids in the name of “imagination.” Time for me to get out my knife and kill Santa too.

Comment on Creating Castles out of Cyber Sand (or the Search for Significance in Cyber Space) by brianwl

That ocean front in Arizona, is it sand or pebble beach? I found this cyber game in which players rule island city states, and worship mythical gods from ancient Greece. Occasionally you meet someone worth the time to write, but for the rest, there is no rescue among those also washed upon the shore.

Comment on Perplexed by purity, but not despairing of death by roberta

Oh by the way, you know that Jesus did the works of the Father because he only did what he saw the Father doing and speaking what he heard the Father saying. Where is your Bible when you want to be entertained, relaxed or motivated unto good works? Love, Mom Sounds like Tamara made the better choice.

A very thoughtful article! Good questions! Ever hear of a “lazy Christian? Knowing what is good but refusing to act upon it is “Sin”. Comments? Much talk and no action. Faith is action word!! Love you guy! Mom

Scholastic did it again this year. They cut out any teacher deals. So instead of spending $120 like I did this past fall (when they briefly reinstated the deal) I spent $30. You’d think with all of the business schools in America at least one of them would have a class on how to engender good will from your customers.

I’m sure Sherlock is utterly confused by now. First no shoes, then he has to tie his shoes? What next, are you going to lop off his feet at the ankles?

Proud of you for sticking in there. I have experienced all too many of those “bouncy ceiling” prayer sessions (Thus sayeth the Lord, “I’m rubber, you’re glue…”). I find that praying more often for shorter periods of time tends to provide communion without the feeling of being the only one to show up on the conference call (“Welcome to the conference call. You are the first caller. Please enjoy the muzak until the other party joins the call…”). But that’s just me.
