Truth

There's no doubt that one of Satan's most effective methods is co-opting a tool that can be used for good and twisting the direction just enough that using the tool takes one to a far different place than originally intended.

Follow these two lines far enough, and see where each line takes you, even though they start from a common point.

This video illustrates the point perfectly. Yes, it's fairly easy to see how technology plays a role in ruinous evils like pornography and infidelity. But how about its role in things like loneliness and social isolation, which are just as damaging, though much slower-acting, than the "big" evils?

Amen!

"The blood relatives of common courtesy are kindness, sympathy and consideration. And the reward for exercising them is to feel good about having done so."

-Norman Corwin

Whew

I had to dress up for work today. No cords and long sleeve t-shirt for me.

Probably the shortest bio in the whole program.

How much can I get for an MTSU commemorative letter opener on the open market?

Sisters

Apparently, a girl is never too young to play dress up.

Putting Up a Defense

My "Post Vacation Forcefield" isn't very strong today. There's really nothing to make it a "bad" day--I'm just a bit down in the mouth.

So I've pulled out nearly all the stops--"emotional rescue" blend in the diffuser, sound machine, Ralph Vaughan Williams playing in the background--everything except chocolate. Maybe all of that will do the trick?
