I'm typing this on a Mac today. It's the first blog post I've ever typed on this quirky device that was gifted to me by a friend who felt my computer universe could use some expansion.
So in the past few weeks I have been diligently trying to make it work for me. Instead of... against me.
For the most part, I've succeeded, but there are still things it does and doesn't do that drive me nuts.
I know that if my friend, who has decades of experience with Macs were here, he would patiently instruct me in how to achieve my goals. But he's not. And even simple keyboard tasks can quickly escalate into war, and my decision to walk away for a while.
This morning I was thinking through some names. Names of people who were part of our fellowship for a while, but just walked away. It would be so easy to decide that it's all on them - they weren't committed, they didn't care enough, or even that they really didn't have a saving relationship with Jesus.
But what if...
they just didn't know how to make it work?
What is it about us that we can't even see that option?
And see it before their walk carries them too far away?
