The Darwin Awards

Ever read the Darwin Awards? You know, those stories where some goof ties 200 helium balloons to a lawn chair, packs a lunch, and cuts himself loose-- BB gun in hand for balloon popping when he wants to come down. Well, we've given some "awards" out to Bible characters as well for the ridiculously awful decisions they made. Whether it's trading a bright future for instant gratification or failing to obey God completely, these folks really bothced it up. So we're using these stories to learn something about God's character and also get some things situated in our own lives before we deserve a Darwin Award.

On July 20 at soma we talked a bit protecting ourselves from the pitfalls that the Internet can present-- not just sexually explicit material, but time-wasting, online gambling, and excessive shopping. One mechanism that's available to help you glorify God even with your time online is Covenant Eyes. Covenant Eyes is a software that compiles a history of websites you visit, how much time you spend online, and when you're online and e-mails that information to an accountability partner on a weekly basis. Wanna up the ante re: integrity on the web? Check out covenanteyes.com.

		what's going on? I want to get connected... We can't tell you how many phone calls and e-mails and personal conversation we have that boil down to this very statement. Our answer? Get in a home group. Soma home groups are designed to do just that-- help you connect in community with other believers. If you're looking to get connected, that's the best way to do it. Check out our home groups page and find a home group that's right for you.
