Apples and Oranges….

Apples and Oranges
I wonder how many people out there can identify with me as “technology challenged.” I have had the same computer for almost seven years. Recently it went haywire. The “technology elite” in our office spent days convincing me to buy a Mac. “Go Apple” they kept saying.
I asked the logical question, “What are the advantages to a Mac?” The answers were quite surprising.
- They do not get viruses
- They are extremely durable
- They are incredibly reliable
- They are easy to use (which is a joke for me)
- They are faster
- They are “more hip” and represent “Bling, Bling.”
Somewhere there must a site with the, “Top 10 Reasons to Buy a Mac!” Eventually I was persuaded.
I wonder what makes a life durable, virus proof, and reliable. Each of us understands that with time everything will malfunction, break down, and finally just wear out. But some people endure at a much greater capacity than others. The reasons might be internally and externally driven. The Psalmist says, “Glorious and majestic are His deeds, and His righteousness endures forever.” Paul shares incredible optimism when he shares in 2 Timothy 2:12, “…if we endure, we will also reign with Him.”
