Shifting Paradigm
I think that there are so many great uses of technology that can definitely be used for good. But could someone benefit if we approach technology more as a missionary tool than a means of communication or entertainment? I could certainly do a lot better about using this technology as a means of spreading the gospel. I just know that there's someone out there who needs to hear the good news of the gospel from me. And I hope that I can be there for them.

Just Pretty Grateful
There was a man named George Dawson who learned to read at the age of 92 years old. When he turned 98, he then wrote his story in a book called "Life is So Good." I really recommend it. But my point here is that I think many of us probably take for advantage is our abilities to read. I'm pretty sure I do. I am just pretty grateful for this ability that I have been blessed with, for it allows me to consume all kinds of new information each day. That's all.

The Power of Cell Phones
In less than thirty seconds time, I contacted a good friend of mine that I hadn't heard from in months via text this past week. And it was like she was right there next to me; the response time was impeccable. Thanks to the technology we have today.
It's amazing to me the power of the cell phone.
I never new life without the cell phone very well, but I can attempt to imagine how different that was from today. The advancement time of cell phones itself is one particularly amazing thing. From my childhood to now, there have been so many changes to the mobile phone. I remember my mom having a huge bulky phone that only worked if you pulled out the antennae. Needless to say, sending a text message was not an option. Let alone an address book with enough space for all of your contacts. When I received my first cell phone, when I was 16, I was allowed to text, I remember it being a newly created. With that, I was only allowed to send and receive 200 messages per month.
But today--today we can do way more than just call and text 200 times per month. We can hold an infinite amount of contacts on our phones, watch TV, download documents, check any and every kind of social media.
My one hope is that I'm using this amazing, innovative blessing of a cell phone for the best.
