Are you there too?
I joined Second Life (SL) a few weeks ago. If you have not been there, you should think about going there. They say it will be the new Internet. One thing about it, it will let you be whoever you want to be. You have no idea, if it really is a man or woman you are talking(chatting) to and almost everyone is more or less good looking. Some are animals, but most are well built men or women. I don't know if it will be the new Internet, but a lot of companies are there or they are on there way there to advertises and/or to sale their products.

What I'm surprised about is that SL could be a perfect world, but it's not. People are unkind, and even killing others! It reminds me about Matrix where Agent Smith tells about how the first Matrix they created was a perfect world, but everyone died, so they had to make an imperfect world. Maybe it's true, we just can not accept a prefect world. It's a good thing you don't have to eat to survive in SL or we would need Salvation Army or ONE to help us.

Is there any hope to make this world, first world a better place? Should we just give up?
I don't know what you think, but I'm going to continue to try to make it better.

If, when you come to SL, look me up my name is Marios Greene in SL.

Have you heard about ONE - the campaign to make poverty history.
It's amazing all the people involved, especially well known people!
It seems a bit double, on one hand they are making millions of dollars on the entertainment business. Which does not produce anything that helps anyone, well it makes people happy I guess that's good. Otherwise it only takes money from people, money that could be used on something that could help others. Okay this is not where I want to go, but it does make you/me think.
Where I wanted to go, is what is motivating all these people to finally do something? It seems like it is only the last few years people are really trying to do something to help others in need. Maybe the the whole "me me me" thing is over. We have found out it does not make you happy.
Not that long´ago I heard an elderly lady tell about her life. How she was raised in a very poor home and that she promised herself that she would not be poor when she grew up. Then she told that she did become wealthy, but empty inside and how she planed to take her life, but then God meet her. I know it's a story we maybe have heard many times, but she ended up selling everything and now living only to help others, motivated to give hope to other the way God gave her hope. I'm not able to tell her story good enough, but I understand her motivation.
What motivates me or you?

p.s. I'm also a member of ONE.

I was leading a camp last week with over 100 kids 9-16 years old from all over Denmark. It's a Christian camp where the kids get some teaching and then they can choose a workshop with dance, drama, skate, foot ball, band, prayer and arts. The idea is to show that our Christian life is not just church but everything we do and are interested in.
Now here I am looking back at the camp and thinking about, is there any difference in what we are doing compared with any other group. The only thing I can think of is that we have talk a lot about relationship. Relationship with God and each other. I know I'm sort of hang up on this whole relationship thing, but I can not help it. It just keeps coming up.
Jesus says in John 13:35 "By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
This is what will make a difference, that we love each other - unselfishly doing what is best for each other - wow
