BROTHERS

Let me share a secret,
Oh little brother mine.
A secret that will surely
stand the test of time.
Forever I'll remember
the special bond we share.
And through our lives I promise
to always love and care.
I have so much to show you
So can I be your guide?
I will share the things I've learned
along this bumpy ride.
It's not an easy world out there,
that much is surely true.
But as your big brother
I will help you make it through.

The Internet is one of the most remarkable developments of our time. How astounding that with a few keystrokes you can find out the address of Uncle Frank in Schenectady, New York, or the recipe for a Brazilian fish dish, or the statistics for your favorite athlete.

Of course, the Internet opens up a whole world of sinful choices as well. That's why many Internet providers offer a service to protect a family's computer from sites that promote immorality. One company used a comical-looking man dressed as a butterfly to represent the service, and in an advertisement showed him shielding children from various immoral activities.

Christians already have a similar resource, and it doesn't cost us a monthly fee. It's not the butterfly man—it's the Holy Spirit, who lives in the heart of each believer. As we seek guidance from God's Word and pray, He will enable us to detect and filter out the immoral. He can help us to keep from going where we shouldn't go, doing what we shouldn't do, and saying what we shouldn't say.

The world, like the Internet, has much we need to avoid. As we daily seek to "walk in the Spirit," relying on His wisdom and power, we can stay clean. —Dave Branon

The Spirit gives us power to live
A life that's pleasing to the Lord;
He also guides us and provides
Direction in God's holy Word. —Sper

The Holy Spirit is our ever-present protector.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Thank you for the big brother poem. (Or is it a little brother poem?)

Not too long ago
in a public chatroom
I had the misfortune of seeing two left-wing activists
log on and commence discussing their passions

like a bonding session between vultures
they vomited their hatred for the president
and at times this beloved country
all over each other

the stream of neurotic consciousness
like bile and effluvium
poured ceaselessly from them
splattering bystanders and curious passers by

I soon grew tired of this gratuitious display
and promptly departed
before the fumes of their rhetoric
and the obscenity of what I was witnessing
turned my stomach any further

I am told Vultures have a naked neck
Devoid of feathers,
it keeps the bacteria in the putrid carcasses
they feed on
from gaining a foothold and sticking to them
Judging from what I saw these people discuss that night
I can readily believe it
