Tech thought

Hi again, how have you been? I been away for a bit but had a thought I wanted to share.

I was just thinking about the technology that we have today. Most of the time when I see something new come out that makes me think I've seen it all. I think about my mom and wonder what she would think about all of it, she was kind of a "toy" oriented lady and an adventurer. I thought about what she would say if I recorded an image of her grand kids, sent it to a little thin box with a TV screen and called her from the grocery store to let her know I loved her...all from my telephone! I can guarantee she would flip. We don't think much about it now but I can just see her shaking her head and saying "What will they come up with next?". If we ask that question today we don't have to wait very long to have it answered! Things change so quickly it is becoming mind numbing.

There are not many today that live a "simple life", to many electronically generated images and toys to occupy our lives. Is this causing us to loose track of people, to not take time to just sit and think about our lives and dreams? Don't get me wrong, I am just a big kid and I love my toys, but I know they do eat up to much of my time. Many times they use me instead of me using them. Maybe we all need to close the laptop, turn off the phone, grab a cup of coffee and just take a few moments to think, or maybe to connect with friends and family. What do ya think?

God bless ya real good! (:-))

I ran across this on Tangle.com. It caused me to stop and contemplate again what Jesus has done for me, the things He suffered that were due me. Yea, I am amazed.

Lilly the cat

Well, my wife is at work and my daughter is out with friends. Just me and Lilly the cat, my other daughters 'child', here at the hacienda. I get along with her pretty good, Lilly that is. I type and she watches. I watch TV, and she jumps in my lap to wake me so I don't miss any of the really good parts! I really appreciate that, it proves my heart is strong! Actually, we both take turns nodding off, I just don't scare the wadden' out of her (often). All in all a pretty good relationship I guess. 

That gets me to thinking, why is it that you can call a dog with reasonable success but when you call a cat they give you that 'I'm just going to ignore that because I am way more superior than you will ever hope to be' look. I mean, it's like they couldn't be less interested in what you want! Lilly is good at this and not a bit ashamed to use it. But she is, at least it seems so, a pretty caring creature. She is always checking up on me. Once in a while when I am surfing the web or typing or just playing some mindless game, I will suddenly feel a paw ever so gently placed on my elbow and there she is, staring up at me as though asking "You OK there old fella'?" 

She also misses Sarah, her 'mommy', quite a bit. Several times in the course of the evening she will go to the door and look at it as if she thinks she will show up any second. When she doesn't, it's back to napping or playing with that poor mauled stuffed mouse. I guess she has adapted to life with just us home folks for now. I think she is disappointed that she can't entice much play out of the old guy.

Enough said about that. Don't know why, just felt led to share. Time for Lilly and I to go to bed. More later, night all.

God bless ya real good! (;-))
