The original Auto-Correct!
Everybody is trying to find a quicker way to get things done! It's like racing against time, but occasionally tripping over our own words. The problem is we're in such a rush, few of us review our texts before we hit 'send'. Remember the newspaper headline which read: "The inventor of auto-correct died. The funnel will be held TOMATO."
Even though we can speak our words into texts, and don't have to worry about spelling or grammar, it probably would be a good idea to re-read what was typed. I don't worry much about spelling anymore because I now have auto-correct .
And for that . . . . I am eternally GRAPEFRUIT.
Our fast-moving society is all about doing things faster and 'saving time.' That's why we have our microwaves, air fryers, and electric can openers. Not to mention Instant potatoes and even instant grits. And if you really want to stay out of the kitchen, you can always call Door Dash or Uber Eats.
We have Apps to help us do everything -- check our blood pressure and heart-rate, measure our steps, monitor our exercise, sleep better . . . and even remind us to pray!
While we are waiting for our 'same-day' Amazon delivery, an App runs our 'little round robot vacuum cleaner' through our house! We also have virtual friends. Although Siri, Google and Ai can answer a lot of questions, they aren't very personable.
Wouldn't it be nice if we had an auto-correct in our own lives to correct all our mistakes.
We actually do! God often times uses our friends, family and even strangers to highlight our bad decisions, and remind us to show more compassion and love to others in our daily lives.
In conclusion . . .
Re-read your texts before sinning.
Auto-Correct can be your worst ENEMA!
