My first post.

For such a time as this.  This is what I think about when I see all this new technology.   I spoke with a friend the other day about what our desires are and were, we once had a desire to live in the way that people lived long ago.  The desire to live simple without all the technology.  I would watch movies that betrayed that life and want to be in that time.  We both realize that today is not yesterday and for such a time as this, God has allowed all this.   We are where we are in time and place.  God has blessed us with so many opportunities.  I know we must always be cautious to use the things he has provided for us for His honor and glory,  but hasn't that always been the case with every generation.  I feel every generation has been a little taken over by technology:  from scrolls, to the printing press, to typewriters, then electric typewriters, and now computers and the Internet, WOW!  So for such a time as this I have created a Blog for our family to share our God.  He was the reason for the first scrolls and is still the reason.  So I want to share how He is growing us, and give encouragement to others  by sharing ideas and lessons He shows us.  What a wonderful opportunity of sharing.  From good links, to ministries, to learning and growing.  So, for such a time as this, here goes.  You will see some very back to basic things on this site but know that while we enjoy these things we also enjoy the technology we have.  We just want to make the best of where God has us and be prepared for change if and when it happens.  We know we are not promised anything tomorrow as far as technology goes, and we could find ourselves without all this.  So while we enjoy the technology we understand we should not lose the ideas that made our forefathers be able to survive.  We love to study about the past and learn and even experience some of the things they did.  Some of these things you just can't improve on, like fresh milk from a goat in your backyard, or fresh baked bread.  The new store bought stuff just doesn't compare to the homemade, home grown stuff.  So while technology is good sometimes used in the wrong way it is not good.  Let us always be mindful of how we use the resources God has provided for us, and to be content in whatever state He has us in.  So, for such a time as this, here goes, The Mike Senn Family blog.
