God whispered to me.I heard His voicewhistling in the wind,singing to the pines,ringing the chimes,reminding me,"I am here...always and forever"His hand caressedmy face, watered my eyes,rippled the water,finger raced the clouds,and rearranged things...creating a new canvasand painted for me...a new day.He kissed me with raind...

Computers & Technology > Computers & Technology (Other) Will technology take over the world?: 1 of 36
What does talking to a 15 by 15 inch plasma screen, typing on a phone, and cursing satellite cloud cover all have in common? It is merely man and his cold embrace with modern technology and all of its wonders!
