Broken Blessings

Was in Greenville couple of weeks ago looking for a surprise for children’s camp I was sure a specialty store would have. They didn’t. Struck out. I felt bad driving that far, so thought I’d redeem the trip by letting the Apple Store check my 82% health battery on my laptop I’ve used nearly daily … Continue reading Broken Blessings

CTRL + ALT + BELIEVE

Theology and technology are two things that I have thought about for many years. Regrettably, I would be called a novice in both of those areas by some. However, I long ago came to the conclusion that someone can have joy and take pleasure in something without having to first become an expert. I was … Continue reading CTRL + ALT + BELIEVE

Theological Technology – Technological Theology

One’s theology of technology is really a subsection of one’s theology of the sovereignty of God—is the Creator surprised when the creatures he told to have dominion over the earth begin to recreate earthly elements to accomplish what he commanded them to do? Unless we subscribe to open theism, we have to admit that when … Continue reading Theological Technology – Technological Theology

Tech Thoughts

Last night and again this morning, I looked back over a paper I wrote on technology in 2021 and came across the quote below from a 21-year-old Jonathan Edwards that he wrote around summer 1726. And, earlier this week I watched a 28-year-old Steve Jobs give a lecture from 1983 that was amazingly so on … Continue reading Tech Thoughts

Things 3 app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac

This little screenshot might not look like much, but it's an unsolicited shoutout to the Things app. Contrary to my own good sense, a few days ago my stress and accompanying symptoms were again getting close to through the roof. Much of today in my office and another couple hours tonight with Rachael was spent … Continue reading Things 3 app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac

Music on the Original Journalist Review iPods

After a hard day, my loving wife told me to sit in the recliner and watch YouTube to see if my blood pressure would come down. After a relaxing evening of piddling around online, I found something that even my Apple-knowledge had never seen. This is a listing of the 20 CD albums that were … Continue reading Music on the Original Journalist Review iPods

A Call with John Couch

Back in 1978, Steve Jobs went to the home of a Hewlett-Packard software engineer and asked him to take a pay cut but come work for a new tech company called Apple. He put an Apple II on the table for his 4-year-old son to play with and said, “If your dad comes to work … Continue reading A Call with John Couch

October 5: Jonathan Edwards’s Birth and Steve Jobs’s Passing

I have thought about this date, October 5, for a little while— our second set of twins are ready to be born any day now. There are two reasons I would be happy if it were today: my favorite theologian Jonathan Edwards was born, and though more somber than a birthday, Steve Jobs passed away. … Continue reading October 5: Jonathan Edwards’s Birth and Steve Jobs’s Passing

Common Grace at Apple’s September Event

It’s not every day that Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple replies to your email, but he did today If you're curious, the opening song to Tuesday night's Apple Event played behind the story of people who lived to celebrate another birthday when they thought they wouldn't have is one of the best specific examples … Continue reading Common Grace at Apple’s September Event

The Good Ol’ Days

There are genuine benefits to the human experience when it comes to innovation that makes life better, quicker, or more efficient. However, one of the consequences is that innovation outpaces our capacity to keep enrichment from turning to distraction. Therefore, it is sometimes nice to go back in time to the simple things, the simple … Continue reading The Good Ol’ Days

The Bible & Technology

In the late 90s, I destroyed my first computer. I’m not exactly sure what I did to it, but I know that taking it apart and putting it back together didn’t fix the little blinking cursor on an otherwise blank screen.
