Blessings

I love the internet. I think there are some inventions that are better like the oven and refrigerator, however the internet make life so much easier. This morning I was able to talk to a friend in east Asia, a friend in the middle east, and a friend in Kansas all at the same time. I can still be an important part of all of their lives even though I am so far away. It is a mighty tool to keep us all connected. I can't imagine how hard it would be to have to write letters back and forth. I would only be able to hear from them once a month if that much.
I thank God everyday for living in America. I have opportunities that other people in the world don't have. I also have a freedom to worship any way I choose and when ever I want. Many Christians around the world do not have this luxury. In fact they are persecuted and at times even killed for their faith. Please remember those who stand up for what they believe even if it brings an earthly death.
