GOD IS GOOGLE... OR IS GOOGLE GOD?

This morning I was driving to church and doing my normal talking-aloud-to-Heavenly-Father, sort of an informal-prayer that I normally hold while driving from my house until I get to the first curve by the Huachuca Mountains (I have no idea why that geographical landmark is important, but so be it).

And, in my normal okay-why-am-I-now-thinking-about-red-grapes random thought process, I was thinking of my old how-to-relate-the-Holy-Ghost-to-radio-waves analogy (and did you notice that I am using an incredible amount of this-is-tied-together-with-minus-sign-or-whatever-this-"-"-symbol-means... and I'm getting very tired of it).

Suddenly, I had a computer-age breakthrough (damn it, I went ahead and used another one, didn't I?).

Instead of a radio wave, now it's Google.

We can type in something like "American Revolution Turkey Stuffing Nasal Hair" and get 27,500 results in 0.18 seconds.

 So how can we possible debate that God can't hear the prayers
from every single person in the world?

CNN HEADLINE NEWS

I'm a little bit homesick.

I think I am missing my dog and my horses more than anything else - and perhaps a unlimited amount of hot water every night, as compared to sharing with five other people at the moment.

I had a great deal of fun tonight looking up the Google map directions from Palominas Arizona to Aiea Hawaii tonight - it's from my house, through Las Vegas, up to Boise, keep going until through Seattle, and then kayak 2,743 miles to the windward side of Oahu and take Hwy. 92 over to here.

But I've also been scanning the Internet headlines for Arizona news.

And the main media is all about the passing of our newest bill - which makes more legal to do what is already on the books to enforce illegal immigration.

And I can't help but repeat a few things, if nothing else just for myself:

Point #1 - Please note again that is all about ILLEGAL immigration - ILLEGAL.

Point #2 - I live three miles from the border of Mexico, in an area that sees a LOT of illegal immigrants AND drug traffic.

Point #2 - And anyone that wants to boycott Arizona, go right ahead - we've got too many people here already.
