What will become of my FB...when I die?

Dear Archer and Donald-
   
      Today is Thursday, January 29, 2015. Martin Luther King's holiday is behind us... and Transfiguration of the Lord Sunday lies ahead. Sherry and I are back from an appointment with her oncologist in Chicago, and I'm writing a Devotional Book for Lent. At church we're preparing an Annual Report for our Annual Meeting, and I should be working on Sunday's sermon. But I'm not inspired, and so I decided to spend a few minutes looking at today's stories on Yahoo. I suspect that you'll still be looking at Yahoo when you get old enough to care about such things, but I can't be sure. In any event, Yahoo is very popular right now, and many people turn to it for news. It presents a snapshot of what's going on in America, and I elected to share some of it with you. This coming Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday, which means that I had better give a very short sermon! It's hard to believe, but this is Super Bowl XLIX and I actually watched #1. Sports is an obsession throughout the world, and in America, football (not soccer) is king. We can't get enough of it, and there are articles on Yahoo to wet our appetites. One of them tells us that the old Silverdome in Detroit is a pile of rubbish now (which is hardly a surprise) and another article describes the best and worst Super Bowl games (although I don't know who made the decision). I see that the NFL has a domestic violence problem, but that's not surprising either. However, I learned that Bill Bradley, a former NBA star... and a U.S. Senator... may have "deflated" basketballs before big games (and that is surprising).
      On a more serious note, I see that Bill Gates (he started Microsoft) is worried about the use of computers and that "binge" TV watching has been proven to have negative affects on one's mental health. I've suspected this all along because "binge" anything can't be good. Our nation's unemployment rate has hit a 15-year low... but I hope that yours will be lower... and that the jobs will be better. People are concerned about police accountability right now, but I see that a meeting to discuss the matter in Ferguson, Missouri erupted into a near-brawl because many other people believe that it is the community- and not the police- that needs to be accountable. A man named Jesse Ventura- a former WWE wrestler, Minnesota Governor, and Navy Seal (elite soldier)- is insisting that the "American sniper" is "no hero." In truth, the American Sniper is a man who served his country in ways that he was trained and ordered to do! As far as I know, he did his "job" honorably, and he ought to be thanked for that. War is ugly business, and I pray for all of those who are caught up in it. Whether he is a hero or not, I'll let you decide some day. However, he was most definitely NOT a coward.
      Marijuana is legal in Colorado now, but the authorities at the Denver airport have banned the sale of marijuana sovenirs because they don't want travelers to get the wrong impression. I see that an entertainer named David Letterman has invited an entertainer named Jay Leno to be on his show... because they had the same job on different networks before they were thrown under the bus for younger men. You won't have to worry about this sort of thing for a long, long time, and I'm also glad that neither one of you will have to worry about your last name. I see that a man named Michael Hoomanawanui has a name that "no one" can say correctly. Actually, it looks rather easy to pronounce... but then again, I've grew up with the last name of Shedenhelm, which the kids in Des Moines went out of their way to abuse and misuse. Well, that's about it. There is no mention on Yahoo about the battle for America's soul that is going on right now, and there's no article on the growing gap between rich and poor. or the rapid decline in traditional values, or other items that seem newsworthy to me. But I'll leave you with an article that presented a dilemma for your generation- WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR PARENT'S FACEBOOK WHEN THEY DIE? Or your poppy's. I don't know. You won't know the people I have befriended, (I don't know most of them)... and I don't think that they use Facebook in heaven!
