Why Jesus is my best friend

Why Jesus is my best friend…

If you can imagine a hopeless situation, you’ll see this clearly…

Remember three weeks after i got my driver’s license in 1975? i lost control of our humongous family station wagon on a two-lane country road on a trick-or-treat night.

Looking up and seeing oncoming headlights directly in front of me because i had drifted into the wrong lane (because i was distracted by my two high school classmates riding with me) caused me to panic, overreact with the power-steering, run off the road, hit a culvert – simultaneously hitting the gas instead of the brake – and came to a smashing halt after plowing into a farmhouse porch and front wall. A family sat on the other side eating dinner. Can you imagine their disbelief with the impact’s noise and damage?

Can you imagine if i had hit and killed not one, but multiple trick-or-treaters?

And what if i hadn’t had time to swerve out of the way and caused a head-on collision? Would there have been fatalities, including my own?

What if i didn’t die, but others did. How would i ever reconcile my life?

How would i ever shed the guilt and personal torture?

Only Jesus.

And that is why Jesus should be your best friend.

Prayers for the desperate and afraid

Apple Watch personal setup
Technology is getting exponentially easier to use, like yesterday’s Apple Watch online personal setup session.

 

This is a little riff about being prepared before you ask for a life changing huge favor:

It’s been her project for the past 15 years. Her baby. The thing she has dreamt about and believes will make a difference in teaching Baby Boomers how to fearlessly navigate and use technology.

i agreed to talk with her, and generously committed to an hour. About 20 minutes in, a hidden agenda was discovered that was awkward because it blindsided me. It was uncomfortable.

She wanted me to be her ‘pitch’ man. Me.

She admitted that her book desperately needs to be updated. A contradiction to her commitment.

The premise before the call was to share advice, not become an ’employee’.

The call went ten minutes longer than scheduled, but i still had enough time to click on the email link Apple sent (after i easily scheduled an appointment) so that i could enjoy a 45-minute personal online tutorial.

Good luck to anyone trying to compete with Apple.
