In reading a section in Deuteronomy titled 'Witnesses' there are few famous lines that have been used many times in many circumstances like 'an eye for an eye', 'a tooth for a tooth', hand for a hand', and a 'foot for a foot'. What if today we would do this literally to various criminals depending on the offense. Do you think the rate of various crimes would decrease and purge the evil from whomever. We must remember not to give false testimony for one never knows when it will come back to bite you in the but when least expected.

The Game
I was watching my one grandnephew playing one of his computer games that he plays on his television where he has to complete missions or various activities. To me it looked kind of interesting for there were a variety of colors and designs that I may want to try and draw a few of them one. The game just seem to move so fast that one would have to be quick on the draw to complete whatever needed to be done to move on to the next level. I was not good at video games except for SpaceInvaders back when.

Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
