Gaia is a great name for a software system. On a more related note, this scares me. A lot. This is why the NSA was brought in.

Rewards of Relationship
Some people don't understand why I am so adamant about my faith. They can't relate to me because to them religion is dry and boring. But, that right there is the difference. Too many people consider the rules of religion, I don't. I have been captivated by the rewards of relationship. See, I don't read and honor the Bible because I am being held hostage by a religion. And, I don't strive to be kind and compassionate because I will lose merits if I don't. I do those things because I caught a glimpse of Jesus Christ. I understand that He loves me more than I deserve. In return, I want to know Him intimately. I want to love what He loves. I want to give my life for His causes. And, I want to serve the people that He created. The Bible teaches that God loves every person on the face of the globe and He wants everyone to know His love and to have a relationship with Him. No one deserves it, but it is available to everyone. It is this relationship that compels me to live differently.
If I live for self-gratification, I would be declaring that I love myself more than I love my God. That is not what I want said about my life.

HP Technical Support
Things I learned (or relearned) from my 2 hour call with HP tech support this afternoon:
- Always get their number, even if they're supposed to call you back in 30 minutes.
- hp.com/#product may take you directly to your computer's support site.
- Tech support doesn't know the difference between hardware and software.
- I'm really glad I got an AppleCare warranty.
- Apple may be the #1 in customer satisfaction because it has no competition in the competency department.
I sought my soul, but my soul I could not see. I sought my God, but my God eluded me. I sought my brother, and I found all three.
