Cell phones

There has been heaps of texting going on at the Sunday night services - most of it legit as part of Digestion.

It struck me as I was watching those who are just slightly younger than me how much I haven't yet discovered of what my cell phone can do and what all the features on it mean. I have skipped over the technical bits and the bits I don't understand I have not asked for help with. Although I have been aware of others making better use of their phone I have been content to stay with the knowledge I have and not try to learn more.

I bought a cell phone because I wanted to keep in contact with my kids and make it easy to send and receive messages from them (when I remember to check) and so that is all I have used it for and yet it is capable of so much more.

It seemed to me that it is a bit like what God was saying to me last year . That to be content to be in the same place in my christian faith was to be missing out on so much that could be of benefit to me. That it was necessary to ask for help and to learn from those who have the knowledge (i.e. Bible College) and that by doing so I would be opening myself up to so much more.
