Explain GOD?

Why do we want to explain GOD? Is this our desire to control? I mean, who wants to serve an explainable GOD? GOD should be beyond anything I could think or imagine. GOD is GOD! That is the only explanation needed… What are your thoughts on this?

Why is it so hard to ask for help?

In my job, as technical support, it amazes me how many times “Person B” will call in support for “Person A”. I understand this when it is a phone issue. But Susie will call to tell me Sally cannot print. (I know you Mac users never have problems like this, but follow the thought.) My question is what keeps Sally from calling me directly. When I will most likely need to talk to Sally to resolve the issue anyway?
I see this in the lives of people also- a reluctance to admit a need for help. Do we really think we have the world convinced that we “have it all together?” And is “having it all together” really the goal?
I think of Samuel listening to a voice he did not even know… or Abraham going to a land he hand never seem… or fishermen dropping their nets and following Jesus. These men did not “have it all together” and yet they anointed kings, fathered a nation, and started “The Church.”
Maybe God would prefer us to be less “put together” and more moldable. Any dad knows the difference between old and new play-dough. The old is hard and rigid. The new is soft and moldable. I believe that is how God wants to find us.
So back to the question, why is it so hard to ask for help? I know I need help from God, my wife, my kids, my friends and family. So what holds us back from asking God and each other for help?

TEACHERS ARE AWESOME!

I knew this before my wife became a teacher. However, I now have an even greater appreciation of this fact. {Yes, for those who do not who did not know my wife is now a K4 teacher at DC.}I do not think Jaime was able to go to bed before mid-night this whole week and there were only two days of school this week. She has this committee to be on and this parent to send an email reply to. It is truly amazing! I know I am partial to Jaime, on this. However, she is rarely at the school alone. There are usually two and three other teachers up there working as well. So this goes back to the title of the post TEACHERS ARE AWESOME! {One quick aside – Mom (my original teacher), thanks for still making your family a priority while doing all the teacher stuff!} I have worked an on-call technology position for the past seven years, and I know Jaime has the most demanding job in the house. So I conclude this thought with two questions- Who was your most influential teacher, and if you could say something to them what would it be?

Confusion...

There appears to be some confusion with the name of this blog. Just because the blog is named christiantechnologist does not mean I am saying that I am better than everyone else. (There are other reasons I feel this.) What I am hoping to do is to expound on many diverse topics. Question for response: What was the last Bible Story that you read? How did it impact your life? [Thanks in advance for all those who answer the questions and blessings to all who read.]

Writing is harder than talking…

My dad used to say that I was vaccinated with a phonograph needle. I have never been short of something to say. But for some reason the processor in my geekoid “technologist” melon finds it challenging to write those words down. I feel maybe I should call a plumber to clear my writers-blog (I mean block). [I am curious, if apples rule, then why do apple users need to tell the rest of us. I mean don’t you think it would not be necessary to say.] And if I had to pick I think watermelons rule!

First Post!

You have found the blog site of Joe Sorrells, a Christian Technologist. There is absolutely no telling what I might post out here. My prayer is that God will use this blog to be a blessing to those who read, add comments, and contribute in any way towards it.
