TEACHING AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS

I've spent most of my day attempting to figure out a simple task. Most students of 12 or 13 would have accomplished this feat somewhere between a cell phone conversation and choosing the next selection on their Nano. Myself - several hours in practicing humility. Yes, the experience borders on the edge of frustration, but across the horizon there's a lesson.

Do students of this current and upcoming generation posses a greater intellectual capacity than the previous generations? No, I don't think so. They stand as an example of how subtly we are influenced by the environment that surrounds us. You don't see them lining up to attend training seminars...they just have adapted because it's part of their everyday.

It makes me wonder...if I spent more time reflecting the author of my faith maybe I'd see His reflection more in the lives around me.

Just a thought.
