If I did any more, I’d be doing it for you

My browser is Google Chrome. Google is the opening page on my browser. It is simple. The name Google followed by a search box. Using Google I can find nearly anything in the world I want to research all by typing what I want in the little box.

A few days ago, Seth brought to my attention that there is no customer service telephone number for Google. I had never thought of it before. Neither have I ever had use for one. After all, if I can’t figure out how to use Google on my own, I probably don’t need to be on a computer. If I have to call someone to figure it out, they may as well do it for me. So they don’t give me the option to call them.

Part of being a pastor is being a problem solver. Folks will come and seek advice for various things going on in their lives. Sometimes there are tremendous problems for which I can only suggest things that may work to help things better, but are not guaranteed. Other times, I can tell them exactly what to do to solve the problem. But I can’t do it for them.

Google makes it as simple as they possibly can to bring all the information in the world to your monitor, but if you have a problem requiring you to call them, they can’t help you.

Some things you have to do for yourself.
