Modern Technology - Call Him Up

I am rather confident that there are only three types of people in the world today when it comes to electronics, computers and all the high tech stuff available. I classify them as follows. #1 - Those that know all about smart phones, dump phones, iPhones, and even pay as you go phones. This first group has iPads, iPods, and they can turn their lights on and off from anywhere as long as they have a wireless internet connection; Group #2 – These individuals own mobile devices, and they believe that modern technology is the future, they understand 4G, portable hard drives, hot-spot, and as is often said about folks with some knowledge, they are informed just enough to be dangerous; Group #3 may best be described by this often overheard statement. “I only know how to answer this phone that’s it”. Of course we smile and laugh with each of these groups in reality. We smile with those that know how to fully operate high tech devices especially when they are able to help fix our phone or computer problems. We stand in amazement because they know exactly what buttons to push, what to turn on and off, and what to download and uninstall. Personally when a ‘pop up’ flashes and ask me if I am sure I want to delete, I get nervous. If you are laughing and smiling with me then I think it is safe to assume you are either in group #1 or you know the feeling I am writing about and are identifying with me. Group #1 has everything their hearts desire. They are always looking for the newest upgrade and product that is about to arrive on the market. For example I have heard of iPhones and I know they were developed by Apple, but until recently I didn’t understand all the different models that had been made. First there was the iPhone1; 2; 3; then the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4; then the 4S and now the iPhone 5. Please no tech questions about the differences but I know with an iPhone 5 you can press a button and ask any question you want and this lady named Siri will answer. Group #2 has both electronic gadgets and knowledge. Growing up when you went to church you took your Bible. Living in these beautiful Appalachian Mountains when going to church you would want to traditionally carry a King James Version Bible and best if it was a really BIG Bible too. Not sure how this became the norm but I’ve done it, and know many who still do. With all the mobile devices and applications you can down load to a capable phone, today’s modern Christians read the Bible through the Bible App or they use their tablet, or iPad to follow along, take notes and can even take pictures. This group has mastered what they use and my hat is off to them for the accomplishment. The last group (#3), I fit in most with. Recently I asked the youngest in my family to help me out with my 1995 computer and he said, “really Old Man” and just laughed. Well modern times for me are coming. I am determined to graduate from this group to at least group #2 where I can look technologically sophisticated at least. Not sure when it will happen, but watch out world I’m going to move into the current time century electronically speaking soon. Change is never easy and there always seems to be more questions than answers at first. When I first decided to follow Jesus Christ I wasn’t sure how things worked either, but I’ve learned so much by continually accessing the source and from my experiences of walking in faith. Growing up I learned the song “Call Him up and tell Him what you want” and I’m glad that technology hasn’t changed. Jesus is still just a prayer away and He is waiting to help. Until then
