Issa

Issa picked me up again this morning and I remembered him instantly. I asked his name this time so I could add to his story. I heard a little more about how he started out as a security officer, moved up to do some Tech work and then managed the engineering of the early Mac computers. Not designing, but maintaining them. He went on to tell me how complicated the first computers were and how the wires all needed to be managed and insolated and protected from over heating. He remembered the original Mac and what an upgrade the Mac 2 was. I once again marveled at the reality that computers have become an every day use, completely ingrained into our society now, and just within a few short years, within my lifetime. “Phones are really just little computers these days.” Issa said, “You put all your contacts, appointments and get on the Internet with them.” But overall our conversation went a new direction today… it started with technology and lead to God. God gives us many wonderful gifts and inspires great inventions that each can be used for good or evil. “It’s the morality of the one who holds it that will determine if he uses it for good or evil, “ Issa said. “And unfortunately so many people don’t have moral character anymore because they are all trying to take God out of their lives.” On both of these points I agreed with him. Then he went on to make another great point, “I think they do it because they don’t like responsibility, and they don’t want to be accountable to anyone, especially God.” Well said Issa. I am grateful to see somebody who respects God. I don’t know of his religious background at this point but I already have great respect for my new friend and I look forward to crossing paths again.
