A Christmas Thought
You cannot put money in a bank without a
computer being used by you or the bank, you can't take money out without
a computer being used by someone, you cannot get a bank statement
without the use of a computer, the bank does not even know who you are
or how much you have in your account without a computer.
You cannot make a purchase or return merchandise without a computer, .
You cannot have or use electricity in your home or at work without a computer or pump gas or buy food.
You cannot use a credit or debit card without a computer. You cannot
even buy theater tickets without a computer. You cannot make a phone
call, send an email, or otherwise communicate without a computer. We
cannot even talk to one another without a computer, or so it seems.
Instead of gathering in each others presence, we congregate in chat rooms. Some even 'go' to church by way of the computer.
And yet we have the audacity to think that we are in control of our
lives! We have blindly put our trust in these machines. We worship them,
even brag about them. We believe in them!
My guess is that we
will rue the day that we became so dependent upon computers
...computers that we seem to have such little control over! Computers
that seem to have such absolute control over us.
Why is it that
those who believe so completely in modern technology refuse to believe
in the one Source of power that really can change their lives for the
better? They tell you that they can't believe in anything they cannot
'see' or 'touch'!
However, can you 'see' the internet or
'touch' it even? Can you see the world wide web? You can use it...but
can you 'see' it?
Well, put your trust where you will....

Merry Christmas!
