Monday 5 a.m.

Streaming audio is truly awesome. I sit here at my desktop and continue to be amazed at what technology can do. I am listening to one of my favorite radio stations (bbnradio.org) which I cannot pick up on my radio in the a.m. But because of streaming audio I hear it perfectly. As Yakov Smirnov used to say, "What a country."

On a secondary note, the report that Europe is 25 years behind the USA in general economic terms is definitely fascinating and it seems to be; a continuing proof that socialism in government is ultimately a negative - no matter the "compassion" behind it.

But, as a radical pursuer of Jesus Christ, I'm not dependent upon the government anyway. I remain dependent upon a Creator God.

My favorite piece of wisdom: "There IS a God; I am not HE." JB
