Lennon Back From The Dead!!!

I've been following the foundation for sometime now.  Basically they want to give every child in the world a laptop, giving them a better chance for a future. I love this idea, and will support it in the future. Despite what they might think American children have opportunities thrown at them right and left, programs to help inner city and less fortunate kids. Free money, support from places all over the world. We've become so greedy we expect everything to be given to us. My father grew up in Portsmouth VA, his grandfather, father and mother all worked for the Norfolk Navel Shipyard, My uncle, and cousins all worked or work at the shipyard. Dad worked there for 40 years, all of them doing the best they could to make their way in this world with what they had. Earning everything they were given and giving everything they could to there families. Sometimes I forget that. We live in an amazing time, maybe every generation thinks that about the time they live in. Information in an instant at our fingertips. Vehicles and transportation to take us to the ends of the earth and back. And yet I feel like relationships are being lost, stolen by texts, Instant Messages, Email. I'm not sure were this post is going, its kinda took a left turn right in the middle there. 

Currently I'm reading the Book of Mark (ironic) and "No More Christian Nice Guy" by Paul Coughlin.

Both are great.
