Not the First One to Try It

Is this article about my husband?

"MySpace gives pastor ‘prophetic’ edge"

Pastor Alton, who cultivates a reputation as a computer illiterate techno-phobe, is actually an avid reader of MySpace pages, blogs and personal websites of the people in his congregation.
"I appear, shall we say, un-hip," he says. "Therein lies my advantage."
Though he publicly refers to the Worldwide Web as the "Worldwide Waste" and e-mail as "sin-mail," in his home office is a bank of computer screens with more than 170 bookmarked sites — personal web pages, blogs, Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, Digg, Flickr and more. Each week Alton surfs the sites for hours to find evidence of questionable behavior by people in his church. He jots offenses down and incorporates them into his Sunday sermons.

Wait, no. My husband doesn't try to hide his geekery!

They Have Everything There

Earlier this week I received an email with a strange subject line:

Amazon.com recommends Jesus and more

I was surprised but thought that was nice of them, since I recommend him myself.

Then I saw this ad, and I thought, Now they've gone too far:

• Children: Try eBay

  Looking for Children? Find exactly what you want today.

And to think we went and wasted all that money on adoption.

I can't even decide which one I like best. Oh, our poor, poor child . . .
