A few years ago, a friend had to give me a cell phone for me to consider having one. I thought it was ridiculous and rude for people to carry a phone. If someone needed me, they could call me at home.

Now, 10 years later, I am not sure how I would function without my iPhone glued to my hip. Perhaps I should say, glued to my ear.

I am the same guy who could not fathom having a laptop computer. Why would anyone want to carry around a computer? As I write from my laptop I think you get the point.

What changes? Why do we change? Leading technology is providing something better.

Our leadership should be the same.

We need to be open to God’s methods in leading to make life better.

I am far from where I want to be in the way of technological development or leadership. However, I am closer than I was 10 years ago. I hope that as I open myself up to learning technology, I will also be open to God’s word to help me lead in ways that make life better.
