A couple of months ago I was riding in a moving van (moving books for the seminary) between Salt Lake City and Mill Valley, CA when my friend Brannon and I got into a discussion about illegally downloaded songs. I was loose on my standards on this, and Brannon is very staunchly against illegally downloaded songs. Thankfully, I was reminded of the witness that I must be, even in the small things. Shortly after that conversation (and subsequent week in the Bay Area), I deleted all of my illegal songs off of iTunes and the iPod. It was a sad day, but I realized that I need to honor God in EVERYTHING.
Anyway, here's a link to a Weird Al (streaming audio, so no laws are broken here) song that Brannon just sent to me. In his words, get out your lighter and enjoy the song that will inspire, guide, protect, and serve.

Cell Phone Woes
Ok, I know you guys are going to remind me that I at one time said, "I will never, ever own a cell phone." Now I am starting to wonder why I attached myself to one of these accursed things in the first place.
This cheaply made, shoddily constructed Motorola V220 is a piece of junk. I've already had to replace it once already, and now the screen is acting up. It is impossible to see my contacts, which makes it difficult to stay in contact with the people I want to call. Thankfully, all of my numbers are stored on my SIM card, so I don't have to worry about permanently losing the numbers.
Anyway...I know that this isn't really the norm as far as this blog goes, but I had to voice my frustrations somewhere. May the world know that Motorola doesn't create quality!
I do have a question for all of you. Let me know what you think about cell phones. Do they help your life and make it easier, or do they simply add stress to your life?
I also want to know if you've found a particular style of phone that works for you, and why it works for you. As a former sub-contractor for Cingular's E-911 True Locator service, I understand some of the ins and outs of the cell phone world. It's an amazing technology that allows for conversations as you're going down the road at 75 mph, but it's got its faults as well. I want to hear your comments...let 'em fly!
