It just couldn't get any better than this!

Yesterday was my daughter’s fifth birthday. I was thinking about how much she has changed in the last five years. When she was a newborn, I’d hold her in my arms, stare at her and think “it just couldn’t get any better than this.” And when she started crawling...”it just couldn’t get better than this.” And when she said “Dadda” for the first time....ummmmmm! And while we were out riding her new bike yesterday, I thought, ”it simply couldn’t get better than this!” I want to freeze time and keep her just the way she is...but I know that I can’t.

And so it is with technology, too. Technology is changing faster now than any other time in our history. And the tendency for most people is to hold the status quo. “We love what we already have, so why do we need something different?”

I know that change can be scary...but it’s exciting, too! Over the next five years, technology will drive changes in the way we do business, the way we interact socially and even the way we do church. Think about how we could be intentionally using technologies such as Facebook and Twitter to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ...if that doesn’t excite you then you may need to check see your doctor (aren’t you glad he’s keeping up with technology!)

As much as I want my daughter to stay a little princess forever, I cannot wait to see how she’ll change and grow over the next few years...it just couldn’t get any better than that!
