"Lighthouses are more helpful than churches."
~ Ben Franklin

Some would say that a church is a lighthouse.

Apparently, Ben Franklin didn't see churches in his time as being helpful in a real way. But don't think poorly of Ben. This is the same man who also said, "The moral and religious system which Jesus Christ transmitted to us is the best the world has ever seen, or can see." How could a man who held the teachings of Jesus in such high regard seem to disregard the Christian church?

Is the church a lighthouse? Does its light extend to the horizon in every direction? Is it's steeple a beacon for the lost? If not, then was it ever? And if so, then how do we get it back? Why did we allow churches become a social clubs instead of God's messengers of hope and healing?

I'm with Ben. Let the Church build more soup kitchens than sanctuaries.

VMK!

So my crappy computer used to crash about 2 minutes after entering the Virtual Magic Kingdom game online. And last week we went to Disney and did some of the quests at the real Magic Kingdom. So I had all these cards for stuff I could use in VMK but I couldn't because my computer is crappy. So I took a couple hours today and hacked away at it until I finally found the the problem. BEHOLD!



That is my VMK member room, "Ocean Front Drive" and that's me, "KrazyPete" sitting on the phat Herbie couch. I traded one of those WDW Holiday Exclusive Snowmen to RedTara for Herbie Couch. She probably got the more rare item but I love Herbie so I consider it a fair trade. RedTara I'll be your friend for life (but I'm probably not going to give up my other snowman).

So dear friends and family, send me your VMK codes from your cereal boxes, DVDs and other Disney paraphernalia. Oh, and Angel is a pin trader since our trip last week so if you have Disney cloisonne pins laying around she would be most grateful if you would send them along.
