I like my phone. I like
that it lets me communicate with people.
I like that I can listen to books and music with it. I like that I can play games, watch movies,
access the internet, track my weight loss and work with documents. I like apps…..too many apps. Every once in awhile, I feel the need to
organize my apps. So far, I have twelve
folders set up for my apps. There are folders
for books, connections, education, health, food, games, money, music, travel,
utilities, visual, and productivity.
Herein lies my dilemma. I have
the YouVersion app. If you’re not
familiar with it, the app allows you to access several versions of the Bible,
look at sermon notes from participating churches, read daily devotions,
etc. It’s an awesome app, but where do I
put it in my organization? It’s more than just a book, so it doesn’t fit in
that folder. It does help me connect
with God and other Christians, but I don’t think it quite fits with the purpose
of that folder. The Bible definitely is
definitely essential on educating me in the ways of God, but that folder is
more for things that I use in my classroom.
Without God, my health in every area of my life isn’t what it should be,
but the apps in that folder are the ones that I use to stay on track with my
weight loss. It used to have the label “fat”,
but I decided I needed a more positive approach to the situation. The Bible is food for my spiritual life, but
probably doesn’t fit with my apps for grocery lists and recipes. The Christian walk is no game so that folder
is out. God requires good stewardship
and should be the first consideration when deciding how I manage my money, but
YouVersion doesn’t really fit in the money folder. There are books in the Bible that are
considered musical, but not really what I was thinking when I created that
folder. How about travel? The Bible should guide every step that I
take, but putting it with Mapquest and Googlemaps is probably a stretch. The utilities folder is for those things that
I use on occasion when I need them, but don’t they don’t really affect my life
very much so that won’t work. The Bible
helps me see what God wants for and from me, but visual in this case is for
things that I want to look at.
Productivity……hmmm……The Bible definitely helps me be productive. It is the core of enabling me to live the
life that God intended for me. It
encourages me to do more, be more, and love more. Yep, I do believe that my Bible belongs in the
productivity folder.
