Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I recently saw a commercial for an online game based on Greek mythology. It spoke about armies, mythological gods, heroes, and quests. What got my attention was the description of how to get the game started. You go online to register, choose your god, then build your empire.
Wow! “Choose your god.” Those words, though presented casually in the ad, struck me as being characteristic of one of the most dangerous things about our world. In a game, it may be insignificant what “god” you choose; but in the real world that choice has eternal consequences.
To a generation of Israelites surrounded by the gods of their day, Joshua declared that they must choose their god—but it must not be done in a cavalier way. He set the example as he said, “Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Josh. 24:15).
Today, as in the days of Joshua, there are many options. But there is only one wise choice—the true God. Joshua made the right choice. “We will serve the Lord.”
Read: Joshua 24:14-18
Sweeeet! A road trip to Hawaii would be the best! :)
Well...part of it would necessarily be a boat/plane trip, but why quibble! :)

On a bright note, I spent the day with Robert, we took a day trip to Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Rob was stationed there a long time ago, so he knew all the best places to eat.
We went to a restaurant called Bratskeller.
Most way yummy food!
Dawn had given me a gift certificate to Barnes and Noble, and the one in Portsmouth is HUGE!
We spent a few hours browsing there, and just had a marvelous time!
Wish me luck on my commute to work tomorrow..
