I made my pastor aware of the Pokemon thing. He didn't know what it was,
but he did see the Rangers trading cards in church on Sunday. He didn't say
anything about it because he didn't know about it then. He knows now and I
just happened to have left the ball in his court for guidance on the matter.
Pokemon DOES NOT come to Rangers on Wednesdays. Same goes for electronic
gizmos. All right so every party has it's pooper, well, I'm the Senior
Commander so that makes me it by default. Someone has to draw the line and I
do. These things are distractions. They are immaterial to God because God is
bigger & better
