Faith and Tech Bytes with Amy Lynn

While technology is great, and our phones can ping cell towers to tell emergency responders our location it's not foolproof. It is crucial for emergency services, postal workers, and delivery personnel from companies like Grubhub and DoorDash to locate your residence quickly and accurately. Ensure your house numbers are clearly visible either on your home or mailbox or even both. I encourage you to share this information with your community, as it could be vital in saving lives, so much so that I didn't just make this a podcast but a social media posting for all to have access to.

As for the faith side of this podcast, the song "This Little Light of Mine" serves as a poignant reminder that one should not conceal their faith. This principle applies universally, regardless of one's religious affiliations. Everyone should feel empowered to practice their faith openly.

Matthew 5:14-16 "You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven".

There are a lot of people and companies promoting VPN's for privacy. But there are a lot of online companies that don't accept users who use VPN's.  While VPN's may help with cybersecurity, they may end up creating you a nightmare.

Now you may be asking what does this have to do with faith?  Simple.  These VPN's or Proxies are digital masks you wear online. People have been known to wear masks online and off.  They may be pretending to be something they aren't. They are either lying to the world or lying to themselves. Walter Scott said, "O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!"

Leviticus 19:11: "You shall not steal. You shall not deceive or speak falsely to one another."

The new year everyone tries to start it off right. But while you are focusing on either your mental health, or your physical appearance don't forget about the well-being of your technology and spiritual life.

When was the last time you wiped down your keyboard, screen, or your mouse? I even used canned air to clean out the inside of my mouse because I couldn't remember the last time I did that.  Don't forget to wipe down your remotes too!

As for faith, you could start fresh with the goal to read the whole bible in a year.  I did this a few times with several different versions. I didn't really think it would be possible but it is. 

Jeremiah 29:11 - “For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Getting yourself organized is a lot easier with tech than you think.  It takes determination and disciple to be organized. It doesn't "just happen." But technology can help you set schedules and time limits for things you set your mind to doing.

Getting organized in faith takes time too. Finding the time to pray, finding the time to read the bible, finding the time to go to church. Asking God for help to be more organized is a start. Don't pressure yourself or give up.

1 Corinthians 14:40 - "But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way."
