Simple Technology

No, I don't think there is such a thing. At least not for one such as I. I like simple, I often sign letters, remember them, Simply, Julia. I have a ceramic wall plaque made by a friend of mine, that says 'simplify, simplify, simplify'. I have a friend that refers to the KISS principle, 'keep it simple stupid'. Simple is good. It really is my mantra.

I am trying to get use to all the technology in my life. I don't know that I am doing well. I still have to ask Autumn how to use my cell phone. 'What is that symbol?', 'how do I...'. She also is my personal computer geek. She doesn't care for that title, but there it is. I home schooled my girls, how did she learn how to work a computer as she can, since she didn't learn it at home? It is just because she has much younger brain cells than I do?

So, if I like simple why on earth have I created a Facebook account? To be truthful, it was a moment of weakness, while bored. Bad combination. So, now I am trying to figure that out, what it all means. Yep, you guess it, this is where Autumn comes in, once again. I don't know how long I will last on Facebook, it makes my head spin. To much going on. It isn't... simple enough for me.

This morning in my devotions, in Matthew 28, there is the verse where Mary Magdalene and 'the other' Mary, took hold of Jesus' feet and worshipped Him. That is simplicity at its best! How have we in the church gotten so far away from simple, humble, pure worship. Why do we need whinny guitars, flashing lights, smoke and drum solos. These are fine if I am going to a performance of some kind. Worship is to be about Jesus, giving Him the praise worthy of Him. It isn't for me to make me feel good, it is to turn my focus on Him, to cause me to have my heart broken . Today, I was reminded simple for me gives me peace and calm. Simple worship doesn't make my head spin. I don't have to ask Autumn for help. It is just me, taking hold of Jesus' feet, on my face, worshiping the King of King.
