I downloaded the Minecraft Volume Beta soundtrack from Bandcamp and have been listening. A Creative Mode song came on and gee, I miss the old times. Me and my brothers would have so much fun.
I feel like if I tried to go back and play Minecraft with them I couldn't bring the good times back.... I had to not know how good I had it in order to have it so good.
We really messed up God's (current) world if videogames feel more like a taste of Heaven than real life...
No I take it back. I've had little tastes of Heaven in "real life", but it is very close. Real life is *real* though, you can do things in it that have eternally-lasting impact, greater than even good times spent with you and a sibling, as valuable as that is.
I'm a Christian. The good times are up ahead, not behind.
To the eternal, good God, the problem of evil is "already" solved. Sin is on a timer.
Jesus made the way.
I like the thought I had going here. But it's funny that it was a reply to posts about my childhood Minecraft experience 🙂 bit of a context jump but eh there's a small connection.
I relate. The soft humming of a Macintosh 400K floppy drive can almost bring me to tears.
Still lots of great times now that I'm older! But life seems so much more serious now....
