hot writing
i never gave the term "hotmail" much thought, for a long time. but then i realized at some point that "hot" refers to something available from any internet terminal, anywhere in the world. one time i tried to enter my email address when trying to contact someone from high school, at a web site, and the message came back, "no hot linking allowed." then a police officer one time referred to my house as a "hot house." or was that my imagination? i thought, later, that he might be referring to all the books in the house. but no, that would be fahrenheit 451 if that were true. or it might be a resentment against anyone who uses the internet, by those more old fashioned, who just use the tv set. or there are other possibilities. i am just now starting to love Jesus Christ more every day, to the point that my Christianity would govern every decision i make, so that i am not a hypocrite. so i don't really know what the police officer meant when he said my house was a "hot house." but i do know there is a higher Law than man's law, and that is God's Law. the Law of sin and redemption, salvation from sin and the effects of sin. now i walked into the library one time and someone called me a "hot writer." (or was this too my imagination?) i realized this may just mean that i am a blogger, that i give away my writing for free over the internet. as a society, we are still working out the problems of zero cost on the internet, giving away things for zero cost. how then would the artists get paid? so i guess, yes, i am a "hot writer." and i am not ashamed to say that i prefer the internet to tv. in fact i hope i never again subscribe to cable tv. but i do miss the movie channels. like from the 40's and 50's. if tv is a mirror, then it is in some ways an evil mirror. because we live in a fallen world. a world governed by powers and principalities against God. so be careful when you turn on the tv set. in some ways there is a "reality field" between you and the tv set. it's just not a reality you want to join. my question: if you enjoy mafia movies, and someone gets killed in the tv show, then are you in some way participating in the reality of the mafia by voluntarily watching that show? i think you might be. so in my watching, i try to watch police shows, private detective shows, and spy films, when it comes to drama and action.
