Hi Freddy,
We're sitting here watching the countdown to midnight on our local channels. Channel 18 is supposed to start broadcasting a message from God at midnight. Channel 4, not to be upstaged, has a crew at Chen's God of Salvation Church (his home) in Garland waiting for the appearance. When they interviewed him just now, he was very sweet and well-spoken.
CW is excited--for some Dallas homes that's the HomeShopping Network, but for us in SOuthlake, 18 is HBO and CW is hoping that it'll just stay hooked up after God speaks and we'll get HBO free from now on.
Compared to the rest of the news-which I guess I haven't read or watched in a year, Chen was the sanest of all the stories. That was a really depressing hour-we are a very sick society--from the Arkansas snipers, 11 and 13!!!??? --to Clinton dancing with some little African children (the man has no sense of rhythm at all)and holding up a baby named after him. When they said he referred to the baby as "My boy Bill", I lost it and CW said, "Mom, you're evil." "Yes, I said, I am a bad satanic mother. It's time you knew."
The news followed a special of the Titanic and then a program on Why Planes Crash. And yes, we certainly enjoyed that one. The TV is going off, despite entreaties--they can watch the reruns of God in the morning. And I'm going to look for something happy to read. |
