Today, the Apple Genius, Steve Jobs, died; presumably from his bout with pancreatic cancer and issues stemming from his liver. He was only 56 years old. His health declined quickly this year. Only about a month and a half ago he resigned as CEO to Tim Cook. Yesterday, they rolled out the new iPhone 4s with Siri, the robot lady inside the phone who helps make life easier.
Well, I have taken the opportunity various times on this blog to espouse my feelings for Apple products. We daily, hourly, sometimes constantly benefit from Apple products:
iMac: our home computer used for everything from paying bills, pictures, videos, internet, blogging, calendar, school, FaceTime. . .
iPhone: phonecalls, music, email, calendar, reminders, notes, books, game, videos . . .
MyLove's iPhone: all the above plus stocks and news updates, FaceTime
Macbook Pro: school, FaceTime, internet . . .
We use our products so much and they have helped me be much more organized. We have captured moments we normally would not have been able to. What a blessing Steve Jobs has been, or at least his many innovations have been, to our family.
I don't believe that Steve Jobs was a Christian, so it pains my heart to think of what he accomplished here on earth . . . but for what? He changed the world's technologies and his legacy will be longlasting. But, what of his soul? None of his accomplishments mean anything to him now.
We have nothing if we don't have a hope for eternity.
Death is so near for all of us. It's so easy to get caught up in the mundane and dailiness and forget how fleeting this life really is.
We are here, and in an instant, we are gone.
Jesus Christ.
He is our only hope.
He created the real apple, a much, much greater feat!
He created all things . . . humans, souls, aluminum, electricity . . .
"For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his own soul?"
-Mark 8:36 NKJV
