Technologically "Un"-Savvy

We were blessed to have recently purchased a new MacBook. Our trusty old 2003 could no longer handle the requirements of "newer" programs (like Word 2008 or iTunes version 9). I am one of the most inept people at handling technological devices (I still cannot successfully send a picture from my phone) so overall I have greatly appreciated the simplicity of Apple technology. I did have one complaint which I recently shared with Kyle.

Me: Every time I try to click on something, all these choices come up onto the screen. It's really frustrating when I don't want to cut or paste or copy... all I want to do is scroll down.

Kyle: I don't have that problem.

Me: Well I don't know how to fix it, but I can't keep using it this way.

Kyle (watching me attempt to click on a link): Um... you're clicking on the right side of the mouse pad.

Me: Oh...

We Believe

This beautiful creed is stuck in my head today... I highlighted my favorite statement of truth. What an amazing thing is the Trinity!

"We believe in the Father, who created all that is
And we believe the universe and all therein is His
As a loving heavenly Father, He yearned to save us all
To lift us from the fall... We believe!

We believe in Jesus the Father's only Son
Existing uncreated before time had begun
A sacrifice for sin, He died then rose again
To ransom sinful men... We believe!

We believe in the Spirit who makes believers one.
Our hearts are filled with His presence;
The Comforter has come
The kingdom unfolds in His plan
Unhindered by quarrels of man
His church upheld by His hand . . . We believe!

Though the earth be removed
And time be no more
These truths are secure
God's word shall endure
Whatever may change, these things are sure . . . We believe!

So if the mountains are cast down into the plains
When kingdoms all crumble, this one remains
Our faith is not subject to seasons of man
With our fathers we proclaim
We believe our Lord will come as he said;
The land and the sea will give up their dead.
His children will reign with Him as their head.

We believe!"
