So What Are You Going to Do About it? Part I

It all begins when my Mom won an iPod.



That's right, my Mom won an iPod. She didn't know what to do with it, so she gave it to me. Being a geek I, of course, said, "Yes!"

Not having a lot of money, I didn't buy any music or any apps. I didn't even know what an app was! Instead, I found podcasts. I happen to be an avid gamer, so I found podcasts about games. Lots of podcasts and lots of games. Podcasts from Korea, from Texas, from all over. My world began to expand. I learned about lots of games that I really wanted to play.

But something else happened too. I started to get covetous. I wanted all those games. I became greedy, I began thinking more and more about all those games I didn't have. What's more, I started listening to the iPod around the house, since there were so many podcasts to keep up on. I started ignoring my wife and children.

In short, the iPod led me into sin.

Now, I happen to believe that this world is God's world. That things like iPods can be used for sin as well as for good.

So I started asking, "What does a Christian iPod look like?"
