Voyager, Arnold, and Aliens

Voyager:
For those that don't know, and want to, there is a Star Trek: Voyager marathon on cable TV's TV1 channel starting tonight (Fri 29th Oct) and going through via 27 episodes till 5pm tomorrow. IMHO, Voyager is definitely the best Star Trek series, although Next Generation is also fantastic, and the original series also good (for a laugh at the old special fx, anyway).

Arnold:
After all the fuss over Arnold Schwarzenegger running for office in California, we have heard little of how the big-muscled, slow-talking movie star is going in his new position. No word on policies, or rampaging through the streets armed with a 9-gauge. What is he up to, I wonder? Anybody know?

Aliens:
Listening to the awesome Switchfoot album "The Beautiful Letdown", I was listening to the repeated line "I don't belong here" in the title track and realised how easy it is to become lost in the veil of this world, when we as Christians really do not belong here. There won't be blogs, games, or computers in heaven. Or all the other temporary things of this world. Yet I, and so many others seem determined to clutch onto all we have in this world, unable to see beyond our mere 80 years on this planet. This is just a friendly reminder to me and my brothers and sisters in Christ to always remember we "don't belong here" and are meant to live as if our home is in heaven, not here!

  • I don't know about that, I'm sure ther'll be computers in heaven. It's just that we'll call them chazzwozzas or something. And they'll do something completely different.

    Also if anyone is wanting to give up any worldly possessions as they are "unable to see beyond our mere 80 years on this planet" Send them to me-Chaotica

  • I know what you mean though, so many things that we do every day and don't think twice about just don't seem to matter, looking at the big picture. If I think about it, everything in this world is temporary except the souls of the people themselves, including the world itself I guess.

  • Heaven will still be a physical world (whether or not it is this one, is another matter which I don't wish to get into). Therefore we can expect to enjoy being in the physical presence of our wonderful creator. Things such as computer games, blogs, and (lest I say it) AFL will be irrelevant. That however does not mean that we can't enjoy them atm (so long as they are not sinful, and don't lead us into sin).
