My Space, the good and the bad

OK, so I check my MySpace account on average about once every 2 weeks or so. I have found some really good things about MySpace and some really bad.

We'll start with the bad...

Solicitation! I checked the MySpace messages today, and I had about 15 from people who have had their accounts deleted (My assumption is that they were misusing their account to solicit people). Then I had one that still had an account. It looked suspicious, but I have clicked on a suspicious one before and reconnected with people that I have not seen in ages, so I clicked on it.

It was a solicitation - the worst one that I have ever seen!

Why was it so bad? It was so bad because it was claiming the name of Christ!

I apologize for showing you this, but I have to give you an idea of what the devil is up to. Here is the banner:



So this ad is to meet Sexy Christians. It makes me sick to my stomach. My question is, Does a Christian person really think that this is an alright idea, to advertise sexy and Christian as some sort of "complete package"? I feel like this would be a situation similar to when Jesus turned over the tables of the money changers in the Temple (Mathew 21:12,Mark 11:15,John 2:15).


Now for the good...

It doesn't get any better than this. Following is a video from Jon Shirley's MySpace of him getting vaccinations before his trip to Ethiopia. I laughed so hard! If you don't know who Jon Shirley is, he was the pastor/worship leader of the River Market Church in Little Rock and is now the Worship Leader of a young adult service called The Gathering in Overland Park (Kansas City) at Heartland Community Church.

Dreamer - I am in Trouble

So, I was sitting in my hotel room yesterday, and a movie came on that I had seen before, but this time it was a bit different. The movie was Dreamer.

It is a story about a race horse that breaks her leg and Kurt Russell buys her because her daughter doesn't want her to be put down.

Why is "I am in Trouble" in the title? Because we are about to have a little girl that I am going to have a hard time saying "no" to. I have a feeling that I am going to have to count on Amy a lot.

The movie is cheezy, but if you haven't seen it, you should. It features Kurt Russell, Dakota Fanning, and Elizabeth Shue and even has a theme song by Bethany Dillon - one of my favorite Christian artists.

It is just cool.
