COMPLICATE

Word prompt--COMPLICATE
Five minutes to free write about it
----------------------------------------------------------
This prompt made me laugh because I was feeling very frazzled when I saw it, and in the process of asking myself why life has to be so complicated.

I don't know if it's just me having a touch of amnesia or what, but it seems like things used to be so much simpler back in the day before AI, and technology, and phones being answered by robots who make getting to a live person a very complicated, aggravating, and time-consuming process.  

It's been a very frustrating day with very little accomplished. 

I'm so grateful that God never changes and that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Malachi 3:6, Hebrews 13:8).

I am grateful that we can come to Him in prayer 24/7 and get straight through without any hassle or getting put on hold. 

Reminds me of an old, old song -- Telephone to Glory (The Royal Telephone).

  4. I agree, life has certainly become more complicated. All the tech stuff to make our lives easier sometimes doesn't.
    I never hear that song before - that was fun!

  8. I can sometimes understand the having AI answer phones, but it can be so very annoying when it can't actually help you. And then trying to get the help you need. Saving money or helping people... it's a hard decision I think. FMF2
