Tech Spot
Kevin "Flash"Klump

Welcome to Tech spot. There are two purposes for this column; one is to help clarify some of today's technological terms, such as Wi-Fi and Blogging. The other purpose is to give advice on what to look for when buying some of the new fangled gadgets.

In this edition, I am going to talk about the Internet and what there is to do on it, BESIDES the online listening opportunities from myfavoritestation.net, but that's the main thing for being online right?  I'm just kidding, there are a lot of things to do besides listen to online radio, e-mail and research or even online shopping. You can do most anything online, but let's talk about how safe it is.

If you look at the technological advances throughout the course of history, you will find one or more examples of people using said technology for some sort of deviant purpose, as in the case of Photography, Videography, the Internet and the introduction of pornography. Does this make these technologies bad? No, the technologies themselves are just mediums to deliver this stuff. The problem is with the people behind the cameras and/or keyboards that give these technologies a not so good reputation. So what do you do, stop using them all together? In some cases and depending on the individual I would say yes. There are ways to be able to use the Internet and have FUN without having to sift through the garbage out there.


Filtering Software

Most vendors will define the term, FILTERING Software, as software that blocks, filters, or monitors Internet use. There are many filtering programs, so I will give you the top five, in no particular order, and their web sites for you to research.

Net Nanny

Cyber sitter

Cyber patrol

Maxprotect

Filterpak

Common Sense


A lot to being safe on the Internet is common sense. Use search engines, like Google and yahoo to look up the subject and see what comes up. Most importantly, pray before you go online for God's wisdom as you surf the net.
In my next post, we will look briefly at some of the fun stuff you can do on the net.

In Loving Memory of Maria Chapman

Maria Chapman
At approximately 5 PM on the afternoon of Wednesday, May 21st, Maria Sue Chapman, 5 years old and the youngest daughter to Steven and Mary Beth Chapman, was struck in the driveway of the Chapman home in Franklin, TN. Maria was rushed to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville, transported by LifeFlight, but died of her injuries there. Maria is one of the close knit family's six children and one of their three adopted daughters.

The Chapman family is grateful for the incredible outpouring of love and support at this difficult time.


Meet Maria and express your condolences. If you wish, you may also send condolences by mail to:


PO Box 150156

Nashville, TN 37215

More than five years ago Chapman and his wife MaryBeth founded The Shaohannah's Hope Ministry after bringing their first adopted daughter, Shaohannah, home from China. The ministry's goal is to help families reduce the financial barrier of adoption, and has provided grants to over 1,700 families wishing to adopt orphans from around the world.


Please join with the WRAF team and keep the entire Chapman family in prayer during this difficult time. We too will be praying and asking God to extend His healing hand to the Chapman family. May He keep them in the peace that passes all understanding, and restore them in His mercy.

Modern Israel became a nation on May 14, 1948. 60 years later the eyes of the world are focused on the Middle East, the epicenter of the dramatic events that are shaping our world and shaking our future. Listen to Joel Rosenberg, Skip Heitzig, Chuck Smith, and Peter Goss answer these questions:

*Why does the Iranian president want to wipe Israel off the map?
*Will there be another Lebanon war and will Syria join in?
*Why is Russia arming Iran?
*Does a 2,500 year old prophecy really foretell the rise of a Russian-Iranian alliance against *Israel in "the last days"?
*How can Christians bless Israel and her neighbors at this moment in history?

Keeping You Safe in the Sun
 
Keeping You Safe In The Sun
It was once thought that the majority of lifetime sun exposure was received before the age of 18. But studies have shown that this is not the case. Sun damage
is spread out over the course of a lifetime. With the start of summer, WRAF and The Skin Cancer Foundation reminds you that it's never too late to protect yourself
from the sun. Use an SPF 15 every day, seek the shade and do not burn. For more tips, visit skincancer.org

Homecoming at Toccoa Falls College is a three-day weekend event, with many events planned to honor and entertain alumni, as well as a great time to get together with old friends and reminisce. Events include the Reunion Breakfast, Awards Banquet, Academy (High School) Reunion, and sports events.

 Forgive Like Jesus
                                                           Jesus Forgiveness
Read:
Luke 23:33-36
               
Think:
1. What was the extent and limits on Jesus forgiveness? Do you forgive like Jesus?
2. What did we do to deserve what Jesus did for us? Why did He do it?
3. How can we follow Christ's example with our lives? 
 
Live:
On the cross we see how undeserved grace really is, because that night even as the most evil among them were nailing Jesus to the cross he said, "Father forgive them for they know not what they are doing." The more that I meditate on Jesus the more I see that no one is beyond redemption. We need to lay our life down at the foot of the cross as we pick up our cross and follow him.
 
There is a story of a Christian lady in Iraq whose son and husband were killed by a police officer. In court, as the judge considered the sentence of the police officer, that courageous woman spoke boldly: "He took my family, everything I loved away from me, and I still have a lot of love to give... So I would like for him to come to the ghetto twice a month, and spend a day with me so I can be a mother to him... so that I can embrace him, and he can know my forgiveness is real." (From Shane Claiborne's emails from Iraq http://www.thesimpleway.org/macro/shane_iraq7.html)
 
When I heard that story, it reminded me of Jesus on the cross. My sin just as much killed Jesus as those police officers killed that lady's husband and son. It is this crazy undeserved love and grace that saved me. Jesus forgave me, that is true grace, that while we where yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull                      
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
is sometimes fun, sometimes thrilling. It's as violent as you'd expect it to be. It has about as much profanity as you'd assume. This is the quintessential popcorn flick held under heat lamps and topped with tasty-but-artery-clogging butter-something Indy'd better start cutting back on, considering his age and all.
