this could take all day

personal realities made public

I read this blurb in a recent issue of Children's Ministry Magazine and it caught me so off guard I had to read it a couple times.

"'Thanks to the availability of inexpensive digital cameras and Web sites that simplify photo-sharing, Americans have a new favorite pastime: creating their own reality shows, featuring themselves-and anyone else they see along the way,' writes Jaten Kornblum of USA Today. 'While many, especially young people, think it's all fun, privacy watchers are eyeing the new trend, trying to gauge just how it'll affect us legally and shape us socially.' With kids putting their personal lives on global display-regardless of the boundary between fiction and reality-they're inviting the world, for better or worse, into their private domain; that's something no other generation has even conceived of."

It got me thinking about this blog, and how I happily put it all out there for you and the world to see, without any thoughts to negative consequences.

What do you think?

what did you believe?

While taking a break before a meeting today, I ran across this fun website.  It is a place for people to write in about the funny, absurd, poingnant things they believed as children.  Inspired, here are a couple of mine.

I used to believe that when my ears were ringing a witch was after me.  If I hurried to my room and sat on my bed as fast as I could, she wouldn't get to me.

I used to believe that God had a billion eyes and a billion ears, one for each person.

What did you use to believe?  I love reading your comments, so write away you lurkers.  Or Mom & Dad, do you remember things that I used to believe as a kid?  That would be fun to read.
