iStuff

This past week I got an iPhone at work. My old phone was dying and I needed a new one. Just two weeks before that I got an iPad too. I thought that it was Christmas day with all of this new technology!! There's some benefits as well as pitfalls. I can check my e-mails from anywhere (it can be a plus or a minus). I can text much faster. I can access the Internet and get information from almost anywhere. I can watch movies or listen to Pandora any time.

"Where are the pitfalls?" you ask. For someone that realizes that he can totally lose himself on the 'net, this can be another distraction that keeps me disconnected from people. Facebook and FaceTime(a cool Skype-like feature from Apple) can give one some connection with people, but I believe that this is a poor substitute for real face-to-face interaction. On the other hand I found a great free bible app. that has a bible devotional plan that is keeping me on track to read the bible in one year. There are also lots of free ebooks online.

I'm thankful that I have not dealt with the issue of internet pornography, but I still need to be careful and have people to keep me accountable.

iStuff can be good, but like anything in life I need to keep everything in balance.
