Tuesday's TangentYikes!!!! I JUST learned about this and felt the need to SPREAD THE WORD!!!
If you have ever visited Gettysburg you may have gone to see the Electric Map. It has a really neat history and even though it is not "high tech" it sure is a breath of fresh air for those of us (everyone) suffering from high speed burnout. I have heard that it is to be removed this month. Why, I do not know, but on the Save the Electric Map website it implies that the powers that be feel it is antiquated!?!?
Doesn't that sound like everything else we hear? What is wrong with antiquity???? Don't we learn from that?
I've personally seen the Electric Map and it was through that that I finally understood the battle that took place in and around Gettysburg. You look down over the map and as the "narrator" is explaining things the appropriate lights light up so you can see what was happening. It really is a wonderful learning tool and great for those of us who are concrete visual learners. How ironic that a historical site is doing away with a valuable piece of history.
I am sad
that the really "educational" resources are being traded in for the things that do the thinking for us.....

I giggle Mrs C, because my daddy was just venting about this very subject at the dinner table the other night.... isn't it a shame??
Susan,
I have been bad at replying to comments...sorry about that.
RYC: Oprah...did you listen to the part where she twisted scripture and said that God was jealous of HER...He never said He was jealous of US...I can see the enemy at work in the millions of Oprah followers...I have not watched TV in a long time (regularly anyhow) and I have not watched her show in years...but it amazes me how much influence she has.
Also in reply to one of your other comments, I do hope to see you all again and we would love to have you at our church...you are welcome here anytime!!!
Ok I am off to help with more decals...God is good and has been keeping us busy!
Love you!
Kel
