GPS

OK, I admit...I am a tech junkie wannabe. I would like to have all the techno-junk that comes out, but being frugal (or as others have called me: "cheap") I make myself delay these impulse purchases until I can rationalize it enough. So...I still play an original x-box (you know, the black one), I frankenstein together old computers to make them work, and I just do without certain things, until they prove their worth. Such as it is with the GPS. I always said "maps are good enough." "I have an excellent sense of direction already." "We don't need no stinking badges (wait, that didn't even make sense!)." And then we went to LA. David borrowed a GPS, and we had fun with it on the plane ("look, we're going 547 mph..." and it kept saying "turn right at..turn left at...make a u-turn...something about that on a plane was funny). But on the roads, it was a true life-saver, despite the fact that almost every day, as we turned out of the hotel lot, we had to make a u-turn to get going the right way. So...when we got home, I bought one (after researching them, and finding the best price, of course). And as I was traveling to Hot Springs for a preacher thing this week, and listening to another female voice telling me where to go (the voice on the GPS is female...for now) I started thinking about spiritual things (as I am want to do) and thought, "OK, now I can know where I am (within three feet) anywhere on the planet, but I can still be as lost as before; I can just fool myself into thinking I know where I am." And I also thought, "I wish there was a thing that would be a GOD-positioning system, telling me God's thoughts and will on issues (esp. considering there's an election upcoming). Anyway, I'm rambling now, proving there is no GPS to keep you on track on a blog. Still, I'm grateful...
