Evangelical Christians often complain about the lack of religious freedom Christians have in some other countries, especially the Arab and Muslim ones, yet see no problem in running a dating service for Christians only.

While I largely agree that greed at the top levels of the giant corporations and banks is partly responsible for our sluggish economy and high unemployment, I think there is something else that needs to be considered. Decades ago, when technology first started taking a lot of jobs away from people, we were told that the new jobs being created by the technology were better jobs and more than the number being lost.  For a long time, that was true, but I now think that we have reached the point where new technologies are replacing workers and taking over  jobs a lot more than they are creating new jobs.

“God has created us in order that we may become partakers of the divine nature, in order that we might enter into eternity, and that we might appear like unto Him, being deified by the grace out of which all things that exist have come.” ~St. Maximus the Confessor

I serve God through my creative endeavors, and I listen to His voice deep within me.
