OK, so why does Google want to take you through Seattle on your trip from LA to Hawaii?

Heck, you have to go through Seattle from Anchorage to Hawaii. From Miami to Hawaii.

Though apparently, one needs to go through Japan on the trip from Australia to Hawaii.

Gmail has a new look. I like it so far...

That's where the ramps are.

Well, as long as there is a logical reason...

If you hadn't said anything, I'd not have noticed. None of the stuff they moved is really anything I ever use so I don't think I'll have any issues with it.

I agree, however I am happy that they FINALLY have a "sort by last name" option in contacts.

Oh, Betty. Isn't that sick?

So very sad. Can you imagine what a mess that does to their children's' minds? I mean, kind of twisted. Oh, we go to church and pray, we are good little sheep, we love our neighbors, we love our God.

Then they go home, cuss, drink, beat, gossip, lie, if their neighbors are black/Hispanic they don't count. And they wish their president dead.
What messages do the children get? How do they deal with this? Do they turn from the church or become, what is the word, zealots?

I was talking with my 'The Bible is a Myth' son. We were talking about praying. He said he was fighting vampires in his dream. {he doesn't watch Twilight, either}. I told him that when I had bad dreams, I would pray. It would stop. He said 'Oh, that makes sense. Prayer gives one a false sense of hope so I can see how in your dream it would work.'

So. I tell him 'I do believe in the power of people and positive vibes/thinking. I light candles, to me that light gives a vibe/power/mojo to whatever it is I am asking. I don't know what to say. People say 'Pray for so and so' but I tell them I will send them my positive thoughts and love.'

I asked, in this situation, if we pray to God, even those of us who do not pray, are we using God as a broker for our prayers? And, are prayers 'religious' or are they just wishes for positive results?

Does that make sense? I hate not making sense to my kid. I was hoping to make him not scoff so much and maybe to give him the freedom to 'pray' without feeling like he is stupid. He thinks religion is stupid.

This is so hard for me as I do believe I've had experiences and am a believer. It is all just personal for me. I've never believed I've needed a group for power. {unless it was at Disneyland and met up with the LoTers...THAT is one powerful group!! And fun!!}
