Technology, Help or Hindrance?

So, here i sit, in a car waiting, as many other moms and wives do and i pull out my iPad and start watching Kandee Johnson videos on uTube.  What the heck?  in my car with a little Star Trek like touchpad techie thingy and i am watching a video, no strings attached?

 I begin thinking that there are so many things i could be productive with, and then i look all around me, i have a "smart" phone, much smarter than i am, i still don't know how to work all the whichamacallits and that drives my husband into teaching mode, which drives me crazy if i haven't asked for help.

OK, so i am ranting... what is it about having the latest gadget that makes me think that my life is going to get more productive and more simplified; i mean i sync everything from my work documents to videos i take of my family to the contacts in my phone, i should have a very streamlined life.  I have  computers in almost every room, x- box, Roku, apple TV, multiple of screens everywhere you go, books online, ebooks everywhere.  Everything imaginable at the end of my fingertips and my life is screaming silently to slow down, light a candle and enjoy the natural occurrence of a day.

I love the scripture "Be Still and Know that I am God"

Stillness, it is something that we in the 21 century need to learn to master, before we truly do spin out of control.

Over and Out!
