This past Sunday, Zac Smith passed away. I wrote about him here.
His memorial service will be today at 4 p.m. EDT, and viewable here.
This all leads me to point out the eerie nature of the Internet. Zac has gone to be with Jesus, but his story, through video and his blog, will live on until the family closes the blog and removes the videos.
Prior to the Internet and modern media, the closet thing we had to living on after death was our writings. Most people did not leave anything to be read hundreds of years later, and have been forgotten. Today, however, we have modern media that can keep a legacy going for as long as storage capacity will allow.
That's kind of eerie, especially video and audio of people who have passed on.
That got me to thinking about when Jesus returns to take His church to Heaven. To think that when we are all gone, the Internet will allow us to leave our thoughts behind for all to read.
Perhaps Christians should view the Internet with the end of the story in mind, and not just the present day.
