The Fast Paced Cyber

So today I drove 2 hrs 30 min to hear a presentation about websites and internet fundraising! Both are extremely important. But 31 years ago when I became an officer in TSA -- who knew? Photos were important then. Text and written forms were important. Newspapers, magazines and newsletters -- even letters (who remembers letters ?) So . . . what now ? Actually now is already gone and we're anticipating tomorrow this very moment. No . . I'm not crazy but always feeling like I want to catch up -- like I want to at least be on the top of the wave. But I'm always just swimmin' out TO the wave! Yikes.

I want to make a difference -- I want internet evangelism -- I want virtual prayer rooms -- I want to educate the internet donors and their children -- who will even use something else to be philanthropic! I shutter at the thoughts. But I WANT to be there.

Booth and Jesus were both there -- they were so cutting edge . . . .that HIS blood covered the sins of the world. There's a new twist to "cutting edge" -- and that was before cyber! Go Jesus!

The Little Things

When thinking about God's faithfulness . . . I am so ever amazed at the concentrated effort God uses to help us in "the little things." Since He holds the stars in place, controls the tides of the oceans of the world and creates every newborn baby on the planet . . . why should He be concerned with my everyday, little (though they seem BIG to me) problems. And . . . maybe that's it. Because they are BIG to me . . . His love is that concerned. Don't you just love it when you talk yourself into the solution.

Recently I had a difficult situation . . . and while trying to handle it on my own-- I had come up with dead ends! While trying to find a solution . . . a totally different solution was presented. I had been praying lots and just again realized that God's faithfulness even in the little things is creative, timely and realiable. How utterly amazing that He should care for me! So glad that He does.
