Stupid Smart Phones!

I meant to read my Bible

And take the time to pray

Just then came a fresh new text

I’d better answer that right away.

While doing that I noticed

Words with Friends gave an alert

I had three friends awaiting

For me to play a word.

New notices soon popped up

It was Face Book letting me know

Face Book friends had posted stuff

I’d better look right now.

I wondered while I was looking there

At cats and deer and such

If I’d even checked my email

I hadn’t been there much.

Oh, and then there was Twitter

I’d better check my tweets

If I missed the latest thing on there

Well, that wouldn’t be so sweet.

Tumblr, Snap Chat, Reddit

Linkedin and 3 or 4 more

I must check in on all of these

Before heading out the door.

Before I understood

What had just come about

I had made contact with all my sources

But left the Lord completely out!

My smart phone, tablet and PC

Have wasted so much time

And now I face another day

Without connecting to the Divine.
