Subject: So what do we learn from all this? |
Bible Note: Brother Tim, I appreciate that tip. To tell the truth, I don't know what to think about spyware. I also don’t know why the mere mention of the word creates a link here. I’ll check it out. But I'd like to think that someone starts snooping around my site or files and they may end up getting saved. So I don't mind that. Viruses I fear, but I guess I trust Microsoft and Norton to protect me from them. I’d like to think there is a spiritual lesson in this. . I trust the word of God and the Holy Spirit, but a stranger’s voice, I do not know. Some of my friends do not understand why I refuse to open e-mail attachments, but I do try to be careful. Is Comet a welcome partner? I don’t know. I thought I would need the light to show folks around the site. But I wonder, do you see the candle? I understood that only those who are also using Comet could see it. Is that correct? It’s like a virus, you say. I thought the essential characteristic of a virus was that it came to kill and to destroy. How like the fact that I visit many different churches with my programs. Some of my brethren tell me I’ll be contaminated. But I am enriched by what I see and what I give, I think. Anyway, rest assured that I will think about it and be careful. If you had told me of some evil spiritual influence entering my life I would have listened too and watched it. It’s all a part of sanctification. And speaking of that web site, it is meant to be helpful but it is a symbol for me too. In a way, it represents my life. You would not believe how much better it is now than when it was launched 10,000 man hours ago. And I expect it will continue to improve. I hope I can become like it, a little more user friendly. As for the forum, I have less control. I hope the aimoo folks will make some changes. But is it not encouraging, Tim, to think that we can, slowly though it be, become more and more like Jesus? I press toward the mark. |
