Blog Yellek

If you are reading this it means that not only have you sucessfully negotiated the change in address from the old website but also that I have sucessfully manged to get all of my Blog creation tools changed over as well!

I’m going to be changing ISP’s soon as I’m sick of the high prices that Telstra charge for my DSL connection. I’m signing up with Internode, a local SA ISP. This means that my web address for my BLOG will be changing in the near future. The upside is that I now get 50MB of web space so I can put more than 1 mp3 at a time up. When I know the new address I’ll let you know.

Well not really. The Bible is a complete source of everything I need, but it amazes me the number of people who dismiss Star Trek as merely a fantasy. Tonight at Church we heard Sy Rogers give his take on popular culture and in particular the way that a lot of movies at the moment are picking up on Christian themes. His opinion was that this was a form of pre-evangelism, not the gospel but an introduction to gospel themes which softens peoples hearts to the real message. An interesting idea.

When I got home I happened to be watching a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode from season 6, The Rightful Heir, which really explores a number of issues relating to the second coming of Christ. There are a number of other episodes I have seen that deal with a number of other interesting issues including homosexuality, aging, the sanctity of life and even workplace relationships. Sure there are other episodes as well but I think that there are enough issues sprinkled in there to make ST:TNG of interest to a wider circle than you might think.

So the next time you are over at my place and I suggest we watch a Star Trek episode, don’t turn your nose up in disgust, it might be more interesting and thought provoking than you think.

I have just finished a new track called God’s Will and I’ve asked for comments on Tastyfresh but I thought that blog readers might enjoy also. Let me know what you think.
