PHONES!!! I have a love/hate relationship with my phone! I love being able to be reached whenever in the case of an emergency, but I also hate the fact that I can be reached whenever, when it is certainly not an emergency. I love that I have the freedom to check my emails on my phone, but I hate that I feel that I always have to be caught up on email because it is at my fingertips at all times. I love that I can upload a picture of my family having fun to my social media account, but I hate the fact that I get trapped on that social media account and waste countless hours a week scrolling through to see what everyone else is posting. I know smart phones were created for convenience, but I am convinced that Satan had something to do with it! I truly believe that Satan knew that we would use these phones to destroy our day-to-day life and our real relationships.
Not the Destination...
“There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens…” (Ecclesiastes 3:1, NAB) This weekend our family celebrated our very last camping trip of the season. I am amazed we were able to make it until October, living in North Dakota. As we walked on trails, we heard the leaves crumble under our feet.
