Faith and Tech Bytes with Amy Lynn

No one is perfect and nothing we do is perfect.  The bible teaches us that perfection is rooted in pride. In our daily lives and jobs we may try to strive for perfection. But even computers aren't perfect. The news shares almost daily how AI has done something wrong. Or how an update caused a device to be unusable.  My road to perfection ended when doing DIY. I was devastated that the new drywall I installed got busted.  I grabbed my mud bucket filled both my hands and slapped it on the wall. Plow, plop, squish, mush, bang, boom, bop went the sounds as I covered the whole wall and textured it with my bare hands. And now the wall is done and I am happy.  Perfectly imperfect. Your computer or smartphone may not feel perfect either. You can adjust just about everything. From font size to make it easier to read, to brightness to make it easier to see. Click on "settings" and have your way tweaking things the way you want or need it to be. Psalms 73:26 “My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.” Resources: Beta Testing: http://www.annikaswfh.com [http://www.annikaswfh.com] Be sure to Like, Subscribe, and Follow to our social media channels: https://www.facebook.com/AmyLynnsVoiceOvers [https://www.facebook.com/AmyLynnsVoiceOvers] https://twitter.com/amylynnorg [https://twitter.com/amylynnorg] https://thevoiceofamylynn.wordpress.com [https://thevoiceofamylynn.wordpress.com] https://www.youtube.com/AmyLynnOrg [https://www.youtube.com/AmyLynnOrg] Visit our website at: http://www.amylynn.org [http://www.amylynn.org]

Being a people pleaser can really weigh on a person. Being forced to be the person who always has to apologize even when you aren't wrong is a sign you are in a unhealthy relationship. If the other party can't humble themselves and apologize for possibly hurting you, it's a toxic relationship. Respect should flow both ways. I bet you are curious how this applies to tech. Simple, did you know you can have your electronic device custom made? You don't have to accept the templates you see for sale on the show room floors. Galatians 1:10 “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Be sure to Like, Subscribe, and Follow to our social media channels: https://www.facebook.com/AmyLynnsVoiceOvers [https://www.facebook.com/AmyLynnsVoiceOvers] https://twitter.com/amylynnorg [https://twitter.com/amylynnorg] https://thevoiceofamylynn.wordpress.com [https://thevoiceofamylynn.wordpress.com] https://www.youtube.com/AmyLynnOrg [https://www.youtube.com/AmyLynnOrg] Visit our website at: http://www.amylynn.org [http://www.amylynn.org]

You may have noticed after sharing some good news you feel as though you got slapped back down into place. Online it seems the more attention you bring to yourself the greater the target you are for mockery, hacking attempts, slander, spam, and more. You are stronger than you think and so is your electronic devices. Deuteronomy 20:4 "For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.” Be sure to Like, Subscribe, and Follow to our social media channels: https://www.facebook.com/AmyLynnsVoiceOvers [https://www.facebook.com/AmyLynnsVoiceOvers] https://twitter.com/amylynnorg [https://twitter.com/amylynnorg] https://thevoiceofamylynn.wordpress.com [https://thevoiceofamylynn.wordpress.com] https://www.youtube.com/AmyLynnOrg [https://www.youtube.com/AmyLynnOrg] Visit our website at: http://www.amylynn.org [http://www.amylynn.org]

Have you ever noticed how older people will always make comments like "Oh that's back in style now?"  This trend of everything is old is new again flows through life not just in style of clothing but also in faith. Example some things that were considered cults or cult like in the 60's or 70's is now considered mainstream. Things considered radical are normal. Technology is the same way.  Often times you may do updates or upgrades on your computer and regret it. I been there done that tons of times. But thankfully there is a website out there called Old Version. Because newer isn't always better. 2 Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness" Website mentioned in Podcast: http://www.oldversion.com/ [http://www.oldversion.com/] Be sure to Like, Subscribe, and Follow to our social media channels: https://www.facebook.com/AmyLynnsVoiceOvers [https://www.facebook.com/AmyLynnsVoiceOvers] https://twitter.com/amylynnorg [https://twitter.com/amylynnorg] https://thevoiceofamylynn.wordpress.com [https://thevoiceofamylynn.wordpress.com] https://www.youtube.com/AmyLynnOrg [https://www.youtube.com/AmyLynnOrg] Visit our website at: http://www.amylynn.org [http://www.amylynn.org]

Everything is going to let you down in some way shape or form. This not a curse, it's the likelihood of life. No human is perfect. Each of us have our own responsibilities in life and our own burdens. Computers too can let us down. Phones can get damaged as well as lost and if you didn't backup data then again your system or devices have let you down. If you have important content on your phone or computers you need to back it up, save it somewhere safe so it's there when you need it. Print things out before they get lost or damaged. Uploading everything to the cloud also isn't secure.  Even online storage like Google Drive or Dropbox aren't 100% safe. There is no format online or off that offers 100% secure backups. Psalms 118:8: "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man" Be sure to Like, Subscribe, and Follow to our social media channels: https://www.facebook.com/AmyLynnsVoiceOvers [https://www.facebook.com/AmyLynnsVoiceOvers] https://twitter.com/amylynnorg [https://twitter.com/amylynnorg] https://thevoiceofamylynn.wordpress.com [https://thevoiceofamylynn.wordpress.com] https://www.youtube.com/AmyLynnOrg [https://www.youtube.com/AmyLynnOrg] Visit our website at: http://www.amylynn.org [http://www.amylynn.org]
