Thanks so much for taking the time to ...Dear Frank,<br />Thanks so much for taking the time to search for and comment on the "missing" post! I suspect it was a Google glitch. So true about technology -- at our former church, we had very sophisticated audiovisuals, yet it seemed that something always went wrong! Satan is the prince of the power of the air, which no doubt includes airwaves and other technology, and he is working overtime to keep God's message from spreading. But, praise God, He Who is in me is greater than he who is in the world.<br />Thanks as always for your encouraging words and insights.<br />God bless,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-61599310691823464832014-10-27T13:31:38.759-07:002014-10-27T13:31:38.759-07:00Dear Laurie,

Indeed, becoming a Christian through faith in Jesus christ does not mean a problem-free life, although there are times I wish it would be!<br />As for technology, you ought to see how frequent our church computer fails during the service, especially after spending pre-service time making sure all is in order. It does make me wonder how on earth did the early church managed their services without loudspeakers, microphones and video players! But again, as you say, these thing are all part of our daily growth and reliance on God's goodness and faithfulness.<br />Thanks for posting, and I wish you every God's blessing. Frank E.
