CHANGE IT, CHANGE IT, CHANGE IT.

CHANGE IT, CHANGE IT, CHANGE IT.

I worked as an automotive tech. for over twenty

five years.  In that time there was one thing I learned.

There is an "unwritten law" in the automotive industry 

that consists of only two words, "Change it."

It does not matter if it works well, change it.

But it is easy to repair, then change it.

Hey! it is a great looking vehicle, then change it.

I think it is seven computers I have scattered 

around the place.  I have learned to hate "updates".

My experience with "updates" is that generally

they only make it harder to work with.

If I take a computer to the shop for some repair

or other.  They usually make all the latest "updates"

and then I am worse off than before.

Even in the so called "scientific" world.  You have

noticed that over the years the facts change as new

data becomes available.

How about the thousands of laws that are on the

books.  You almost learn to live without getting

into trouble with some law or other when; you

guessed it, a new law changes everything for you.

With all the changes that are taking place in this old

world, it certainly is not the world I grew up in.

If I were as young as you, it might be different but

at this age I want to yell out, "Stop the merry-go-round."

I want a "constant" in life.  Something that does not 

change.  Something I can hang on to.

Truly there is one constant that holds me together.

My old body changes.  The family changes.  My

friends change.  My opinion changes.  But, 

Jesus Christ NEVER CHANGES.

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today,

and forever."  

(Hebrews 13:8 NLT)

Jesus Christ still loves me despite my many failures.

He died in my place for me and now lives to help me

through this life.  I may not appreciate some of the 

paths he leads me through - but it is for my own good.

Jesus not only will bring me through this old changing

world, but will then allow me to live with him forever.

COMPUTERS MAKE HYPRICITES

Being a very, very old man I grew up in a

"scientific" attitude that if you could not see

it, feel it, taste it, hear it, smell it, measure it,

or weight it; it did not exist.  And therefore a 

"spiritual" realm could not exist.

But our computers, radios, iPads, cell phones

and Wepads or what ever else is out there has

made such an attitude utter nonsense.

The picture above is on my computer of a

recent earthquake in California.  But, there

is not so much as even a wire going to my 

computer.  No one brought in a picture and

put it on my computer so it must be a fake.

I know.  We can receive and even measure

the strength of these "unseen" radio waves,

IF WE ARE TUNED IN TO THEM.

Even if some fake scientist cannot measure

a spiritual realm, there is one.  He/she/it is

just not tuned in to the "spiritual realm".

Probably because they do not want to be,

just like I could refuse to accept that my 

computer works even if I do not understand

how it works.

God is.  And those of us who are willing

to submit to him and come into relationship

with him are just as aware of his existance

and and sense his presence as easily as to

use a computer and use WiFi which we 

cannot see, feel, touch, smell or hear.

INSIGHT INTO PRAYER

The caption for this image called it a computer screen

plantation.  Now we know where computer screens 

come from and that this was a crop from a few years

ago.  I have learned a lot today.  But what has that to 

do with prayer?

More seriously.

That happens to be about the number of computers we

have around the house and in my office - that are on

the internet.  So,  this has helped me to understand 

prayer better to.

I still do not know how God can hear and answer 

prayer individually to millions of people at the same

time.  It would seem impossible.  But just on our

LAN we have eight or ten computers.  All going

through one router from one internet provider.

And, we can all be on the same or different web

sites receiving or sending information while a

million or more other people are doing the same

thing.

If mankind in his stupidity  can do that, well God

is infinitely further ahead and can do even more.

Is it any wonder that God can hear and answer

millions of prayers at the same time?

What a great God I serve.

WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?

This girl here,

was sitting at her computer down in the corner by the little

window.  And I was sitting arms length away at my computer,

the big one with the big screen.  We were each doing our

 own thing on our computers.

When "that" girl emailed me to tell me she was hungry and

wanted a snack.

What happened to talking.  You know, communication.

How will we converse if the electricity goes off?

Come quickly Lord Jesus.
