SNES Coolness

I have played a few SNES emulators but then you have to find the ROM file. I love the idea of actually playing my games. They are still in the cabinet! Who knows if I will every have time to put something like this together but it is still cool!

Fireworks

This piece is adorable. I wonder how long this 30 second piece took to do.

Happy 4th!

These girls are called the Cactus Cuties and have great voices! Have a great 4th of July!

Glee, 80's Rock, and Kids

I saw the Glee premiere a while ago and loved it. It isn't kid friendly but it was pretty good. But seeing this video really made me think. We all love this song but would it really be something that we we would want our 14 year olds singing? It seems that 80's rock, and older music even more so, is protected by this "innocence" because it is old. But do parents, and especially Christians, judge this kind of music with the same kind of filter that they judge currently popular music? I think that genre's are just more than content and that is a shame. Rap, hip-hop and pop are not inherently evil. But it is what they say that makes it inappropriate. Now I totally admit that I listen to music that I won't let my kids listen to. But I don't listen to it in there ear shot and I never lie about listening to it (I am rarely asked). It is the passive listening that seems to bother me the most because it is the thing that isn't considered.

So do you test the message of the music you expose your kids to? How about what they hear that you are listening to?

Web Site Story

My dear hubby has found something that is so me. It is a pairing of old Broadway and geekdom. We present College Humor's Web Site Story.

Stealing Money or Stealing Life?

Bernie Madoff received his sentence of 150 years. Dr. Helen has a piece wondering why he has received a larger sentence than most murderers. Logically I understand that since there were more instances of crime, there were more years up for penalty. But it does raise some questions. The surface question maybe what is more valuable: money or life? But my question is...What is worse killing 1 or 2 people versus stealing from 100's? Madoff effected more people's lives but they still have them. But by effecting so many people's lives has he made a bigger impact against society? Isn't that what the judicial system is for, to protect society? I really don't have the answer. How about you?

Fingerprint Friday: I Am Not an Only

I am blessed by having some wonderful friends but, even in the midst of that love you can still feel alone. I'm not the girliest girl and I don't always express emotions the way others think I should. So some assume that I don't have emotions or get frustrated with me. I was reminded by a good friend (thanks Katie) that I am not an only. I never thought I was alone because God is always with me but I felt like I was the only. The only person who responds to challenge this way. The only who can be mournful of a situation at home but completely ok with it out because I feel I must be. The only one who feels that to dwell in sadness is the mistake, but it isn't a denial of the problems or issues just becaue I can funtion happily. I forgot that the Lord has blessed me with some friends who not only accept supressed, uptight me but also are like me. It is very comforting in the chaos we are going through right now. It is great to see yet another Fingerprint of God when we need it so much!

Me and my babbling self are off to bed. Go check out some other fingerprints at Pampering Beki.

Quite a Day for the Stars

Today both Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson have died. I have to say it is very shocking and my prayers go out to their families. But, does that mean all that will be on tv for the next couple weeks is Charlies Angels and the Jackson Family mini-series?
