Technology is great. I love technology. When it works.

When it doesn’t, that is another story entirely. Sometimes I wonder if we’re not too tied up with technology to the point that if the power ever goes off, we’re in big trouble. But that is another topic for another day.

What do you do with frustrations? When your plans don’t quite go like you planned? When nothing goes according to plan?

The main question is this: do you see frustrations as obstacles in your path or opportunities for you to become a better person? Do you see them as a chance to develop your character as well as your faith?

I hate to say it, but I think some very un-Baptist thoughts when my laptop doesn’t cooperate. I easily get impatient instead of remembering to be grateful for the tech that didn’t exist 20 years ago.

The old saying is that you should never pray for patience unless you want to have what little patience you do have severely tested. That’s why God made technology.

Amen to that.
