Is your memory shot too?

My memory is shot and I am blaming my cell phone.

Let’s be honest, we don’t have to hang on to ANY information in our minds anymore because it is all right there at our fingertips. Heck, I drove right by my house yesterday because I didn’t have on the GPS!

My dependence on my cell phone scares me - typically several times a day when I have misplaced it and get a mini panic attack. Perhaps you can relate.

I see this as an opportunity, a glass half full situation. An opportunity to determine what is worth remembering and focus on that. I can then let the less important stuff be stored in my cell phone.

My mind is weak and out of shape so it won't be easy. For me, I am tired of remembering 3 words of a scripture verse and then googling the rest. I want the Word of God to be with me at ALL times, stored not on my cell phone but in my heart. That's what I want to focus on and strengthen. I might accidently drive by my house a few times, but I will know where my heavenly home is and that’s definitely worth remembering!

Do you find it difficult to hold on to detailed information in your mind?

What does a healthy attachment to your cell phone look like to you?

Do you have any scripture verses you would love to commit to memory?
