  • It’s important to note that fax machines aren’t point-to-point either. Your data is still passing through someone else’s switches (probably fewer hops, mind.) and then there’s the physical security on the other end to wonder about.

    The last fax I saw was in high school and it was left out for any one to grab documents from. (Well. Inside the school library right near the librarians desk.)(she had a somewhat unearned reputation for being terrifying, so, you’re mileage might carry there.)

















  • Even when I was an ardent Christian, I despised mega churches.

    My grandma lived a few country blocks from James River Assembly; and since we were AoG, she’d insist on us going there rather than her usual church when we visited.

    I loved her tiny Presbyterian church and listening to her play the organ for the relatively small choir. I also loved the potlucks, and my grandpa gossiping with the old folks about what everyone was doing with their grandkids.

    But James River? Hell hole. There was no connection. No real meaning. They’d get up and do old-but-still-called-contemporary songs with a full rock band (but not rock music because rock and roll is the devil), the place was full of suits and conspicuous displays of wealth and false displays of piety.
