If you were at the morning worship service a couple weeks ago then you know from Pastor Sandy’s 10 Commandment song that we are not supposed to covet. Well for the last couple of weeks something has been grabbing my attention and that is apples iPad. I can remember when they first came out and I never thought that the iPad would be something that I would want, but here I am now wishing that I was typing this on an iPad. Last night when I got home from 6Eleven (thanks to everyone who came out to 6Elven we had a great night) I was watching the Bears game and since the Bears forgot their offensive line in Chicago it was not a fun game to watch. In efforts to boost my moral since the Bears were do miserable I tried coming up with a list of the different ways that I would be able to use an iPad for our student ministries to justify spending the $499 it costs for one. I was definitely able to come up with a variety of ways that it would be helpful but then I remind myself that Laura and I are closing on a house at the end of the month and there is no way I am going to be spending money on a iPad when we are going to be buying things like a refrigerator, washer and dryer. Now if the iPad could wash and dry my cloths I would go out right now and buy one however I don’t think you can download that app.
What is it with the latest gadget, fashion trends, and that hot item that grabs our attention. My prayer for all of us today is that whatever your iPad is in your life right now that you will allow God in your life and allow Him to help remove that want that you have.
