But man, the response. At first, a few hundred of our friends and friends of friends saw the videos and you can see that by the view count of some videos. Then came www.Godtube.com which is one of the fastest growing video websites. The following series of events is unbelievable. One week, the CEO of Godtube calls Pastor Cox to see if he wants to be part of a pilot program for broadcasting church services on their site. Pastor Cox agreed to think about it if the CEO featured a poem by a woman in our church named Blair Wingo called the Allow Me to Introduce the Christ. The CEO agreed and when he featured Blair's poem things went crazy. There were so many views and responses from people around the world that he was compelled to leave it on the feature page because it was bringing his site so much traffic and viewer comments.

Well I wanted an easy one so I just used a simple math problem, but did you know the bots can read the numbers and do the math! Crazy! They can also read those curvy letters.

What was so amazing was to see people who looked like me and my immediate family. I went to pick up my cousin Theresa the day before the wedding and we did not prearrange a spot to meet, she didn’t have a cell phone and I hadn’t seen her since she was five and I was 15 so I had no idea what she looked like. I was wandering through the airport and saw someone looking through the magazines in one of the bookstores who totally reminded me of my sister.

Also, the best experience was watching Isaiah overcoming a fear. He, like me, has a bit of a fear of heights. Actually, it’s not the heights, but the idea of crashing back down that is scary. Now there was a ride called Soaring Over California that is like IMAX, but you’re lifted off the ground as if you’re actually flying - which, for someone afraid of heights, can be scary. The pre-ride announcement even says if you’re afraid of heights, you should wait at the other side. Isaiah asked to skip it, but I wouldn’t let him. He said when we were about to lift off, that he would just close his eyes, but I kept talking to him so he’d keep them open. After the ride was over, we all pretty much agreed it was our favorite ride at the park. In fact the next day he made a point to ask me if we could go on it again as well as ride on a couple of other rides he had skipped out on because of the heights. I was really proud of him.
