Not me, Lord!

Our Daily Bread
When I was younger, I loved playing team sports. Even if I wasn't very good at them, I always said "Put me in, coach! I am ready!"  I have to admit that I am not as ready to participate in team sports right now!  I am old and fat!  LOL

How often do we have this attitude with God when He calls us to do something -- "Put me in, coach! I am ready!"  Most times, I feel, we are like the Old Testament folks we now call heroes who usually said "Not me, Lord!  " We see it with Moses. We see it with David. We see it with many of the prophets. 

I hope God doesn't hear "Not me, Lord " from us!

Technology Thursday
I liked this article about how butterfly wings are affecting technology!

Butterfly wings are the key to glare-free phone displays
Butterflies have proven to be a surprising source of inspiration for technology, and that trend isn't about to slow down any time soon. German researchers have discovered that irregular, nanoscopic structures on the glasswing butterfly's namesake transparent wings eliminate most reflections at any angle -- perfect for phones, camera lenses and most any other device where display glare is a problem. The scientists have yet to completely recreate this surface in the lab, but they foresee a future where you're not struggling to read your smartphone outdoors. And the kicker? Prototypes are already self-cleaning and water-repellant, so you wouldn't need extra coatings to keep your screens largely smudge-free.
