So last night I was trying to do a live stream on Facebook only to be hammered by issues with camera permissions, freezing video etc. Clearly it was not my night. So I decided to have a conversation with my wife about our lives in this strange new normal. While the conversation was productive and honestly was probably God's way of telling me that there are more important things to talk about than talking about nerdy type things. U get it. When we use technology, there is always a chance that there will be glitch in the process. You troubleshoot and power through. However, there are those times when you just unplugged and go back to the drawing board and try again. I once went to the movies and for whatever reason the projector was not working well. People did not get frustrated, the energy was powerful, people sung songs we all laughed and stayed in our seats. Eventually the management staff informed us that it was not going to be able to show the film and kindly gave us tickets to another showing the film at a later date. Were we disappointed? Absolutely, but the people were given a blessing that they would not be able to receive otherwise under different circumstances. Life happens, when you go to church. Life happens when you go to the movies. Life happens when you play video games. Life happens when you geek. Sometimes the theater of life is best show on earth, even when you are experiencing technical difficulties.

Technical Difficulties
