Fish and nets
Sunday, August 23rd, 2009 | Author:

Each year, villagers along the Yukon River wait for the annual run of King Salmon. They rely of the fish for food and money. This year, there are few fish to be had. The villagers say the Pollock fisheries that operate in the Bering Sea are killing most of the fish.

The Kings are called by catch by the industry and are caught in the nets and discarded. Each year, thousands of the fish are thrown off the boats to their watery grave. I hope that Alaska will realize the importance of taking care of the bounty that god provided them.

A safe haven
Sunday, August 23rd, 2009 | Author:

The world has changed in many ways since I was growing up. One thing that has really changed a lot is the things you can see and hear on TV. I find myself constantly disappointed with the sex, violence, and foul language that dominate the airwaves these days. That’s why I was glad when I found a site called christianchatcity.com. I wanted to find a safe place where my children could enjoy christian chat without worrying about them being influenced by filth.

I must admit that I was a little hesitant about the site at first. I didn’t want my kids to be influenced by some crazy cult. I spent some time on the site myself and found it to be full of people who had fairly mainstream ideas about religion. After I was satisfied that the site was OK, I let my kids on it. Now I am glad they have a place where they can discuss religion in an informal setting. I think it will help them to grow as Christians and become better people. Thanks to this site for providing a safe haven in a world full of bad!
