Did Jesus Use A Modem?

In light of my recent "techinical" issues with my blog I thought I'd post this poem I received via email. Thank you Aunt Bee, Leigh Ann, Ginger and Tracy for your assistance in getting things straightened out with my archiving issues.


DID JESUS USE A MODEM AT THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT?

Did Jesus use a modem,
At the Sermon on the Mount?
Did He ever try a broadcast fax,
To send His message out?
Did the disciples carry beepers,
As they went about their route?
Did Jesus use a modem,
At the Sermon on the Mount?

Did Paul use a Laptop,
With lots of RAM and ROM?
Were his letters posted on a BBS,
At Paul.Rome.Com?
Did the man from Macedonia,
Send an E-mail saying "Come?"
Did Paul use a Laptop,
With lots of RAM and ROM?

Did Moses use a joystick,
At the parting of the Sea?
And a Satellite Guidance Tracking System,
To show him where to be?
Did he write the law on tablets,
Or are they really on CD?
Did Moses use a joystick,
At the parting of the Sea?

Did Jesus really die for us,
One day upon a tree?
Or was it just a Hologram,
Or Technical Wizardry?
Can you download the Live Action Video Clip,
To play on your PC?
Did Jesus really die for us,
One day upon a tree?

Have the wonders of this modern age,
Made you question what is true?
How a single man, in a simple time,
Could offer life anew?
How a sinless life, a cruel death,
Then a glorious life again,
Could offer more to a desperate world,
Than all the inventions of man?

If in your life, the voice of God,
Is sometimes hard to hear.
With other voices calling,
His doesn't touch your ear.
Then set aside your laptop and modem,
And all your fancy gear.
And open your Bible, open your heart,
And let your Father draw near.

Wow! That's a really great poem!

You know what I love? We can always get through to God, without phone service, internet, or even the mail!

Sometimes we think we just can't get along without our computers and our devices. I agree with Diana, I just need to sit at the feet of my master and hear his heart more often.

Great reminder friend.

I am soooo glad all is well with your past posts. My heart was heavy as I know this can be our way of journaling. Isn't it wonderful to know our Father even cares about the small things in our lives?

Great post.
I know it seems like nowadays it is hard to live without our computers, laptops, tvs, etc.
I agree I need to spend more time reading HIS word too.
