screen just to show the salesperson that he did not have a clue as to 
what time of day it was. To my consternation as soon as I touched the

Between cell phones and iPads, I am not faring too well in this gadget
crazy world. Sometimes it is rather frustrating. 

Fortunately, God is not impressed with gadgets. The simplicity of the
gospel message is found in what Paul says. "For by grace are ye saved

of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV). 

Preoccupied with works, a person runs a great risk of missing the
amazing grace of God.
