Goliath Slayer

The technology I am using at this very moment is the same technology that has wreaked horrendous havoc on my marriage, my home and my husband. I have fasted today, pondered heavily and prayed mightily over how to work through this infinite heartache and repair the seemingly irreparable damage caused by my husband's addiction. My initial response was to rip the internet cables out of the wall, throw the computer off a cliff and hide from technology forever. Except that what has been a great source of darkness for my husband for years and years has been a great source of light to me.

The ability to share and communicate thoughts and ideas holds great power - for good or for evil. I have never experienced such anger towards evil, towards Satan and his slimy minions who are working tirelessly to use this technology to trap and ensnare righteous, faithful men and innocent, impressionable children - enslaving them in addictions filled with secrecy and deceit - and threatening strong, eternal families in cataclysmic, catastrophic ways. So instead of succumbing to Satan's constant threatenings, feelings of panic and fear that could easily cause me to cut myself off from the internet altogether, I choose to fight him in the same arena. This Goliath is strong, intimidating, threatening, loud, insistent, pervasive and mighty, but with my small stone of faith I know I can cause his fall. I will use my influence and experience to flood the world with as much light as possible to combat the darkness. I will share my testimony at every turn and will not let him succeed in destroying my marriage, my faith & my family.

And thus I become Goliath Slayer.
