Long time no post

Wow I havent written in a long time. The reason is probably because I have more important things to do at the Cyber cafe and that my computer broke last week.

Recently I watched the movie The Second Chance and I found it quite interesting: Here is the review from plugged in online

The Second Chance

Ethan Jenkins and Jake Sanders share a passion for ministry to God's people. And that's almost where their similarities end.
Ethan is the privileged, prodigal son of Pastor Jeremiah Jenkins, a world-renowned church planter. After a stint as a rock star (and time in rehab), he's come home—literally and spiritually—as the heir apparent of his father's well-to-do, lily-white suburban megachurch, The Rock. Jake Sanders, on the other hand, knows little of privilege as he pastors Second Chance Community Church in a beleaguered inner-city neighborhood. With his wife's help, Jake ministers to a poor, struggling congregation—most of whom are black or Hispanic—helping them get off drugs, get out of prostitution and get jobs.
Second Chance was founded by Jeremiah three decades before. And The Rock still supports its urban sister church—and pays Jake's salary. Though the larger church is financially generous, Jake resents the congregation's hesitancy to "cross the tracks" in order to invest relationally in his church as well. He believes the main reason The Rock writes big checks is so that its members won't have to get their hands dirty, essentially cleansing their consciences with cash.
Thus, when Ethan begins to challenge the status quo at The Rock, the church board decides he "needs his wings clipped" and sends him to spend two weeks at Second Chance as thinly disguised "discipline"—and two radically different worlds are set to collide. Ethan has to learn that ministry requires more than just throwing money at people's problems. And Jake must confront his own deep disdain for how the larger church fails to see that Second Chance needs more than just monthly checks.

National News

theHoopScoop The Hacker Strikes AgainFor the 12th time in 5 weeks, the US Government's computers have been broken into. All 12 attacks happened to different systems and servers within the government. What sets these attacks apart is the evidence left behind. "We do know that the hacker goes by the alias, theHoopScoop. And, each attack has disrupted service for an average of 5 hours. This has added up to a total loss of nearly 18 million dollars due to system repairs and upgrades." Said Dr. Richard Marciniak, lead technical engineer for the US Government.The attacks are far from average. The hacker logs into the system and plants a virus. The virus then spreads across the system, altering every file very slightly. These changes can throw off huge calculations in government funds, allocated resources and many more critical areas of the government. Government officials are looking into the hacker alias, theHoopScoop and are getting close to finding the origins of the attacks. The hacker is facing an estimated 70 years in prison and enormous fines.
