Routine

Our Daily Bread
I have a tendency to compartmentalize certain routine tasks so I don't have to think about them. I do t his with my morning routine most days. When I shave. When I put on deodorant. When I pick up my clothes. When I make up my bed. If I get out of my routine, I have to THINK about doing these things.  Does that make sense?

There are good things and bad things about making our spiritual lives "routine". Yes, it is good to have a regular Bible study and prayer life. It is good to have routine things such as serving others at the homeless shelter or having a meal with friends (stuff I do). It is bad if we just go through the motions. Being in the routine of including Christ in all parts of our lives is the point Paul was making in 1 Cor. 9:26 niv  God give us purpose and focus. May the Lord be with us!


Technology Thursday
Some random technology thoughts today.

Drones: lots of stories about drones in the news. As the common man starts using them more and more, there will be more and more stupid things done with them. IMHO, there needs to be clearer rules about how they should be used and how the common person can protect himself/herself. An example is a case in Kentucky where a camera drone was flying very low over two families homes where teenage girls happened to be sun bathing. What a coincidence. When a father shot down the drone, the police arrested him due to some FAA rule about shooting down an "air craft". He also shot off a gun in city limits. What can we do?

Watches: there is another watch war going on since the Apple Watch came out. There are advantages and disadvantages to both iOS and Android watches. Then there is the Pebble Time that can work with either OS.  Interesting.

Computers: Does anyone buy desktop or laptop computers any more? Yes, if nothing else because the high end tablets have gotten so expensive! The Microsoft Surface bills itself as a laptop replacement, but costs more than most laptops. We will see what the market says about that.
