Gaming is MUCH more fun with friends!

Since March 0f 2007 I’ve played Lord of the Rings Online… time and time again I’ve deleted all my characters and started over from scratch. I’ve done this so many times that I can give you a walk through of the Elf Introduction from memory — through to Level 6.
I guess I kept thinking I was missing something… it just wasn’t as much fun as I thought it would be… but I didn’t want to quit, because I love quest games. Back in the 90′s I played all of the Sierra quest games… Police Quest, Space Quest, and Kings Quest… online gaming was a simple progression of that, it added the capability of interacting with other people.
Some people can take it too far, and live more in the virutal space than in reality. I’ve thought about why this is and I think its that folks may find the virtual world (1) more rewarding, and (2) they’re more in control of it.
What I’ve found in a very short time of being a member of a kinship and playing on a server with more players.. is that more people make the game more enjoyable. First of all, the kinship is so incredibly cool, because here are a group of folks (some are even my age 
who enjoy doing stuff I enjoy. Secondly, it is much more fun to see PCs (Player Characters) running around the landscape in and out of towns than it is to be there all alone.
Still even with the increased number of players it’s the kinship with whom I’ve already interacted more than I have with others in the last 1.5 years that is… making my virtual day!
Thank you… Creations of the Light!! What a blessing!

Prayer’s have been answered in Florida and in Arkansas. Just could not wait to tell Gordon. My father-in-law woke up today in the hospital, grumpy, hungry, looking for his wife and trying to find out who stole the remote. Thank You for your prayers…My wife as well here in Florida was on the edge of her nerves when worked called a lay-off soon to happen…Again the lord came through and my wife’s job was spared. Not only did he spare her job, but others that I know at her place of employment. We serve an Awesome God and at times during the storms we forget him, but the lord here’s our hearts. John 16:33 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
We need to remember this in our storms
