porn on your phone!!

I heard on the radio the other day that Telus is now allowing porn to be downloaded on their cell phones and access is as easy as downloading a game or a ringtone. Common, like these things haven't already taken control of our lives. When I had my cell phone I was so dependant on it, and wouldn't go anywhere without it. I'd rather have lost my wallet than my cellphone. Aren't cellphones distracting enough with people talking and texting while their driving, or while their in classes? Soon people won't even have to open their mouths anymore, communication will be through email and texting. That's not really the issue at hand though however porn on your phone has opened a ton of issues for me when it comes to cellphones. Enough is enough. Now your 12 yr old child can have access to porn without you even knowing. Whatever happened to cellphones being convienent calling in and calling out. Now they are considered a necessity and if you don't have one people look at you like....get with the times...... But if I remember correctly in church youth group a cellphone these days would be a material idol. More focus on the phone than on God himself!!! Dave and I got ride of our phones when we got married. Cost was an issue but also we found that the only reason that we really needed them was to talk to eachother....everyone else can wait....sorry guys! I'm not trying to say that people should boycott Telus or anyother phone company. If you want a cell that's your choice. One question...when was the last time that you turned it off or left it at home so that you could spend time with people without being interupted? Probably a while ago. When I had my cell not a chance!!! This is my challenge. If you find that you are one of those people who has become so dependant on your phone, and can't be without it.....be without it even for only a day! Seems to me that it is opening easy access to temptation, and a way to easily put something that's material before things that really matter. What really matters to you?
On a side note I must address that not all people who have cell phones are wrapped up in them. My parents have phones that are only turned on when they are on the road.

Dana said that she want's to see some pictures......I don't really know how to do that yet, but the next weekend that Jen and Jesse come down I'm sure I'll be taught....should only be about a week or so...sorry!!!

what's been happening....

So....most people know that I was married last August to a man named Dave Roberts. He's amazing. However I had know idea that when I married him that he would eventually move me to the village of Gem. We moved here in winter last year, into a house although large was in desperate need of some TLC. We spent 2 1/2 months getting this house ready to be lived in before we moved here. Even when we moved in we had no water (which includes no toilet!) for about 2 weeks! Boy I sure learned to appreciate the value of modern day plumbing, after many nights of going outside in the middle of the night trying to balance between snow drifts!! But all turned out well. We have our toilet and our shower! Just a little while before we moved we got the news that we were expecting a baby. My heart stopped at the thought that it wouldn't be just Dave and I after only 1 month of marraige, but we prepared ourselves and started to look forward to the precious gift that was given to us. When I was about 16 weeks along an ultrasound showed that our baby was only 6 weeks. We had lost him. Disbelief was what I felt. I had jsut watched my sister go through a miscarraige and hated the thought that i was going to go through the same thing. A few days of mourning and Dave and I thought about looking at the brighter side of things. Now it would be just us two, and we could plan the next few years. Not so fast...... on January 9 (dave's birthday) we found out that I was 5 weeks along again. So, back to the questions of how we will make this work....how this could've happened? (well we're pretty sure we know how it happened!!) We are so much looking forward to this little one and praying that it will not turn out like the last pregnancy.
Basically we are very happy. We're living in the middle of nowhere, we both have amazing families, we don't have much money, the duct work in our house still is not done, and Dave has to deal with the very much up and down sides of a womans hormons, but we feel very blessed to be where we are, and can't wait to see what will happen next.....we'll let you know!
