Technical difficulties

Let me start by saying I am a huge technology geek, and I am fully behind the church internet campus with streaming video. In my job I get to work with clients remotely a lot through various internet technologies. For the most part this works very well, the client saves money on travel expenses, I get to stay home with my family and not lose time flying back and forth, and many other benefits.

However, there are the times when this remote work is very difficult and very draining. Whether it is a lack of understanding between the 2 of us that cannot be relayed easily or difficulty with the actual technology, it just is hard and sometimes I want to give up on it.

The interesting thing though is that no where does Jesus say "Come, follow me and it will be easy". If you can find this passage in scripture, please forward it to me. The reality is that just because we follow Jesus and are trying to spread the gospel, it is not always easy, and in some cases it is very hard. So, my point is, teaching the gospel through the internet can be done, and if it is what God is leading you to do, pray for strength and energy, and with His help, you can persevere.

God bless,
Marty
