Graffiti

Sorry, this is kind of dumb, but... I was flipping throught the channels, and came across stories coming up on the news. They said something to the extent of, "Graffiti; is it art, or is it wrong?". Now that's a dumb question. Maybe it is art, but do they feel that art is beyond the law? It is defacement of property, which is illegal, making it wrong. If you want to graffiti something, buy a wall in a public area.

Blogging

Lately I haven't been blogging much. I've been busy, and found little to write about.
I've thought of quiting, but I still feel this is where I should be.
However, it is close to the last of my priorities, so I will be slowing down a little.

My weblog owns 31.25 % of me.
Does your weblog own you?

I wonder if Bene is still at 25%?

Kasparov and Deep Junior call a draw in the final game of the FIDE First official Man vs. Machine chess match. The match ends at 3 points apiece, leaving much to look forward to next year!

Columbia Recap

February 1st, 16 days after launch, just 16 minutes from landing, the Space Shuttle Columbia exploded while rentering Earth's atmosphere. Debris was scattered across many states. NASA had a press release, and our President addressed the nation quoted Isaiah, and spoke the words that I will always remember, "The Columbia is lost. There are no survivors." Several memorial services have been held. There is still little known about why it happened, and what their last moments were like.

President Bush demonstrates time and time again that the leadership of our country is firmly grounded in God.

One of the pictures that hit me hardest is of the mission patch.
My mind keeps going back to the movie Deep Impact, where the astronauts give their lives to save Earth.

CNN has compiled a nice timeline of events.

Hopefully NASA can learn from this, and keep it from happening in the future.

This can remind us to be thankful, and pray for those heros willing to risk, sometimes even give, their lives to improve ours. Those in the armed services, exploring space, testing new medicines, or anything else.

Peer Pressure

Another grim reminder that, peer pressure kills.
It can lead to compromising your morals (see 1 Cor. 15:33), making unhealthy decisions, and even physical, or spiritual (eternal) death.
Why do we care so much about what others think of us?

Doing the right thing is rarely popular (in fact doing the wrong thing is generally popular), but it is right.
