It seems an awful pain that modern technology is continually being updated. Today my techie son-in-law informed there were updates for my phone. This resulted in me spending a lot of time and using a lot of ingenuity to get these updates. What a panic it causes for old biddies like me. Nothing stands still in this age, I don't suppose it ever did. I used to marvel over the changes my 90 year old aunt had seen. She was born in 1900 when cars were a rarity. We have a photo of my first husband's mother sitting on his father's knee before they were married and their chair is right in the middle of the road outside our aunt's mother's house. It's true it is still a rural road but you certainly could not sit on a chair without being disturbed frequently. I expect our aunt could almost remember when the road was just a dirt track, but lived to see computers coming into frequent use. You wonder how she could cope with it and yet here am I determined to keep up with today's latest inventions. You would no doubt be amused to hear me talking to Siri on my iphone. I even got him to make a joke about Descartes. Just say something to him that includes "I think" and see what he says. I usually thank him and he has about six different replies to that. I find it amusing, but unlike my friends, when I first had the phone, I do not think as they did that he is listening to me in a call centre and replying. For that the call charges would be much higher!!!
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
