I could feel my Spirit lift, I felt as though I was floating. I looked down at the lifeless shell that was once my body. It looked empty, meaningless. Just as I began to ponder my death, a light shimmered down towards me. The light was so blinding that I tried to shield my eyes, but I couldn’t.

I trembled from my head down to my feet. A supernatural strength engulfed my body as the sight captured my heart and opened my mind to victory. Suddenly an overwhelming love sent joy rippling through my soul. The game of life was over and I had won the ultimate prize. I pondered this illumination.

During my game of life I never gave up, I held tightly to my faith. I refused to do evil, always prayed and held tightly to verses of love, hope and perseverance during the difficult times of life.

I passed my tests of life on earth and now I was brought before the throne of God to receive my reward. I stood before Jesus Christ with no fear. Every good thing I accomplished had been written in the book of life. Every sin I had committed out of foolishness and pride had been erased and pardoned, because of the blood of Christ.

I saw my life appear before my eyes as Jesus lovingly focused His attention on me. It was a flash so powerful that I gained many great revelations. All the times I thought I missed the Lord. All the times I failed to pass a test came flooding back to fill me with understanding about how they helped me find my purpose.

Luke 12: 49-53, “I came to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already kindled! I have a baptism to receive, and how distressed I am until it is over! Do you suppose that I came to bring peace to the world? No, not peace, but division. From now on a family of five will be divided, three against two and two against three. Fathers will be against their sons, and sons against their fathers; mothers will be against their daughters, and daughters against their mothers; mothers-in-law will be against their daughters-in-law, and daughters-in-law against their mothers-in-law.”

Every word from the Bible opened up and revealed to me their purpose. I began to understand why God made me gay during a time when the church preached that it was sin. When my family, children and church misunderstood my lifestyle, I stopped relying on people and completely dedicated my life to serving God.

My humility, brought on by the persecution I faced, taught me to listen to the voice of God. I understood how the teachings of Christ changed the Laws of Moses and began to set the world on fire. Fire that made families and nations fight against each other so that goodness could be revealed.

These revelations led me down roads I would not have traveled. Roads that led me to fulfill my life purpose. A voice that would inspire me to look at the world in a brand new way. The Holy Spirit taught me the difference between right and wrong.

When we look at the world as a game then we begin to see the battle that is fought between good and evil. The world’s current events help us see how the game of life plays out in the world. It shows us how evil fights against good.

Massacres in schools like Columbine and Virginia Tech plainly show how evil can motivate people to do hideous crimes. History exposes the evil lives of leaders who gas their own people and evil regimes that enabled a mad man to annihilate millions of Jews during the Holocaust.

For every evil person who commits horrific crimes against people, many more good people spur stories of truly inspirational lives. Professors who gave their lives for their students. Students who gave their lives for other students. People who died, but how they lived their lives, inspired all of us to choose to be better people.

What happens in life is the very reason why we must understand that we are in a great game of life. It is very easy for us to lose the reason behind why we are born into such a chaotic world. We can get sidetracked by work, higher education, having the newest electronic gadgets, or just by trying to build a better life for ourselves than our parents.

In order to win the game of life we must understand that we are in a game. We also must understand that in order to win, we must fight for the side of good which comes in our belief that there is a God.

Isaiah 45:5-7, “I am the Lord; there is no other god. I will give you the strength you need, although you do not know me. I do this so that everyone from one end of the world to the other may know that I am the Lord and that there is no other god.

I created both light and darkness; I bring both blessing and disaster. I, the Lord, do all these things.”

We must grab a hold of the Spiritual part of life all of the time. Not just when we are personally pulled into a dramatic life-changing tragedy. We must understand the battles that are occurring between God and Satan. To do this, we need Jesus to save us and to give us the interpretation of our world through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Job 1: , “When the day came for the heavenly beings to appear before the Lord, Satan was there among them. The Lord asked him, ‘What have you been doing?’

Satan answered, ‘I have been walking here and there, roaming the earth.’

‘Did you notice my servant Job?’ the Lord asked. ‘There is no one on earth as faithful and good as he is. He worships me and is careful not to do anything evil.’

Satan replied, ‘Would Job worship you if he got nothing out of it?’”

From that moment Satan was given control over Job’s life in order for God to test him. Job lost his children, wealth and position in society and eventually his health. In his humility, everyone including his wife, tried to get him to believe that this was a punishment sent by God. Job refused to listen and he continued to hold tightly to his faith. Even though he was in the most weakened and afflicted condition that no human being could ever overcome.

Job’s life teaches all people about the war we face between good and evil. A war where Satan is given the ability to come in and corrupt the minds of men, if they refuse to give their lives to God and love. These are the people who choose to hurt others.

This is the reason why Virginia Tech happened. This is why Hitler was able to kill so many helpless Jews. This is the reason why genocide occurred in Africa and many other countries. Evil people and regimes gave into evil for power, wealth and influence.

It’s time to look at our world as a game. It’s time to gain wisdom from the massacres and murders perpetrated on innocent people. We must choose Jesus as our Savior and allow Him to work in our lives for good.

Exodus 20: 18-20, “When the people heard the thunder and the trumpet blast and saw the lightning and the smoking mountain, they trembled with fear and stood a long way off. They said to Moses, ‘If you speak to us, we will listen; but we are afraid that if God speaks to us, we will die.’

Moses replied, ‘Don’t be afraid; God has only come to test you and make you keep on obeying him, so that you will not sin.’”

When God is head of our lives we go through life and evil can’t pull us in and make us do its will. No matter what others do to us we never do the same. We look at the evil found in the world and we fight against it because we understand our game and we decide to fight for God!

I stood before my creator, He smiled and said, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”

The Dot Com Wife: Seven Tips to Deal with Her

Internet has reshaped and changed our lives in many ways. Nowadays, along with general etiquette, kids have to learn netiquette during the course of interaction with other people. Internet has transformed relationships as well. Surface mail has been almost replaced by e-mail. Chatting and telephonic calls are thought of as substitutes. Matchmaking services are being provided by online dating websites and much more. Recently, I have come across quite a few cases of the “Dot –Com Wife”.

Let me describe the Dot Com Wife. She is from the baby boomer generation or after, her hobbies include chatting, surfing(the internet), her shopping comprises of a bulk of items from amazon.com and E-bay and other shopping websites, her friends exist in chat rooms or MSN /AOL and she cooks from the recipes on desicookbook.com or some other recipe website. Young and knowledgeable about everything, and very fast with a core 2 duo processor in her mind, she is hard to find a normal looking man. When she does, the question arises, will the marriage last?

The need for this question arises from the fact that in the past few years I have come across a number of divorce or broken marriage cases due to excess use of internet. Most of the times, the problem arises because one or the other of the partner either does not share the internet interest or the level of interest varies. The problem is incurable in cases when the woman is a geek and the man is not.

Let me quote a few examples. A newly married couple split a couple of months after their marriage because the bride would be busy most of the night in the chat rooms while her husband did not share the same interest. In another case, a housewife complained that her husband is not interested in her because of his interest in love sites on the internet. The internet also seems to facilitate frivolous behavior for example it is easier for people to meet online where social taboos prevent them to meet physically.

Most of us have either observed or seen such cases in our real lives and are well aware of it all. However, the issue is how to deal with a dot com wife or a dot com husband.

Check credit card bills: Being internet savvy most of the times comes with a certain kind of laziness whereby the dot com wife/husband would prefer to spend on their credit card but would really appreciate if someone like their partner could drop their bills in the drop box. This would be a golden opportunity to make them dependent on you and keep a check on what they are spending on for example if it is shopping, it is good but if she shopped for a branded leather wallet that you never got, there is something to get nosy about. Be involved, the best way to get someone involved in you is by sharing their interest. One of my friends dealt with this problem by actually being online all the time to chat with his girlfriend, which meant purchasing Blackberry, and monopolizing her time completely so that eventually everyone else faded away. Encourage out door activities: even though the internet is attractive but the real world has much more to offer. If you see her admiring a ruby ring on E-bay, get her all hyped up in research about it and then take her out on ruby ring shopping to real stores. That will give you quality moments to share and she will eventually get used to it. When giving gifts make sure you give him or her a gift they would enjoy like their favorite CD’s , Wireless internet USB, latest Laptop, or some other equally techy gadget which will show them that you really care about them and will remind them of you every time they use it. Social Networking Websites: Make your presence known to everyone around her. This would not only show everyone that she is leading a happily married life (stay off) but you can also add a little spice in life by harmless flirtation with colleagues and friends that she can see and sizzle over. Password sharing: Trade your passwords with your wife, an excellent way to keep checks and balances. Check her phone bills: Internet use is closely linked to credit card and mobile phone usage so a close watch on frequently dialed numbers

Even though over use of internet may come in between a relationship. However, its benefits can not be ignored for example it is one of the best ways to keep in touch with your loved one 24/7, it is one of the best ways to meet people whereby you actually interact with them at their intellectual level and shared interests level and would figure out whether you would get along with them in future or not. So, controlling internet use is up to the non-geek spouse. The above mentioned tips are tried and tested and would come in handy.

There is nothing like going to your vacation home and having so much to do that you don’t feel like you’re on vacation. If you can not afford to be waited on hand and foot, you want your vacation home to at least have the latest gadgets that only require the push of a button or two. Everywhere you sit you should feel like you could go to sleep. No, you won’t sleep all the time, but you may read, have a glass of wine or just look at the sunset. Your bathing experience should be luxurious and your outdoor setting should feel like paradise.

Your vacation home should say a lot about your creative side. Don’t worry, everybody has a creative side. Just use your imagination. Even if you are a tech geek, your home should have even more gadgets that display your style. Some homes now have a wall with a moving scene. Many of us can’t afford to be directly located on the beach; although we can wake up on the beach everyday with our electrical wall scene.

Ask yourself what makes you relaxed. What are some of the things you like to have around you? Where is your favorite spot in the house? Create a menagerie of objects from your travels for display in a cupboard or curio. What is your hobby? Is there a designated space for your hobby in your vacation home?

Most writers like to have a beach or mountain retreat they can go to for inspiration. If there is a place outside where you’re most inspired, that place should be comfortable. A couple of Adirondack chairs on a deck overlooking the ocean will serve a beachcomber well when it’s time to get that outdoor inspiration. Those same Adirondack chairs will serve the mountaineer well on an observation deck when it’s time to write.

There should not be too many communication gadgets around when at your vacation home. Televisions in the bedroom are even more detrimental than they are at your year round home. A landline or cell phone is a personal choice, but are they both necessary while on vacation? Music is essential wherever you are. Whatever type of music you like should be accessible when on vacation. Light music soothes the soul.

Whether you cook or order take out, eat alone or with your partner and/or friends, you should have all the conveniences needed at your vacation home. Kitchen appliances should be gadgets of convenience. I should reiterate here for the electronically challenged, no more than one or two buttons.

The last thing I would like to stress is the importance of getting everything you need in one trip. You might typically go to the store several times a week. You might have to stop here for gas and there for dry cleaning. You want your to-do list done before you settle in your vacation nest. The longer you stay the more you may need but remember you’re on vacation…there to relax.
