There's an app for that...

According to the latest search, Apple Computers has over 200,000 apps! Anywhere from Facebook, e-mail, twitter, games, maps, just about everything except for the kitchen sink. For some of us who have an Android, iPhone, or an iPod Touch, it's almost our lives. We're constantly streaming information out into the world and taking whatever is out there. Sometimes if we don't have it on us, we just feel lost! Just the other day I found an app that has the entire Book of Common Prayer! Here are a few apps on my iPod Touch

-Facebook
-Twitter
-The Weather Channel
-Alarm Clock
-Betty Crocker recipes
-Golf Channel
-MLB.com
-Scrabble
-The Bible
-3 t.v. news stations from Florida, S.C. and Michigan

There's more, but I don't really have a whole lot of games!

Anyway, with an app for everything, is there an app for life? Well, I think there is one...it's called the Bible. It's our "How to" on how we live a Christian life like Christ and God's relationship to us. Yes, the Bible is an app on whatever device you may have, but sometimes you have to go back to an age before technology, reading the Bible in paper. We need to get away from technology sometimes and let the Holy Spirit move us.

One story I would like to share is an app that I used to have was called "Bubblewrap". In a minute you had to pop as many bubbles as you can. No joke, I would play this for about 2-3 hours straight! It got so bad that my wife had to confront me about it and told me that it was taking time away from her She had a point because instead of having quality time with her, I was wasting my time on that stupid game. At the time of Christmas, I encourage you to put away the cell phone, the computer, and anything else electronic and play an ol' fashioned board game. Spending time with family and friends and take some to pray to God as a family and/or individually.

Merry Christmas to all!!!
