Love of My Life, Good Luck Charms and Toilets

We all know I would basically die without my iPod, which may or may not be a good thing.

So the other night I plugged my it in to put some new songs on my iPod and the little sucker freezes on the connected screen and iTunes doesn't recognize it.  I wasn't too worried, because I thought I could just reset it and all would be right with the world, but nothing happened.  What I did to try to revive my love was pointless; it took me forever and nothing was working.  So I was coming to accept the fact that it had died and I'm just gonna have to listen to nature as I go to bed.  Plus it was really late and tired of trying to figure it out.  I tried one more time to reset it, thinking nothing would happen.  Then Jesus came in and saved my iPod!  I wanted to scream and run around like an idiot, but it was really late and figured everybody sleeping wouldn't appreciate it.  So I settled for getting my feelings "out" through twitter.

I would love to say I was calm during the whole process and thought the world would be good if my iPod did die.  If any of you saw my tweets know that.  During that whole playing "Dr." with my iPod, me and Jesus did some talking.  I hate admitting that I was all dear Jesus please fix the love of my life I know its just a machine but I love it.  But it happened. 
Side note: The one thing I really remember from Sunday school as a child was when my teacher asked when was the most times you talked to God and one of the students said "when you're on the toilet." 

Then as I went to bed after my iPod came to life I remembered the sermon I heard when I went to Denver last March.  About how we like to put Jesus in a box and there are four main ways we do it.  One of the ways to keep Jesus in a box is by only using him for when we need him to fix things.  The other night I used Jesus as a good luck charm.  Pulled him right out when my life wasn't what I wanted and pleaded with him to make everything "better."  I do this way to often and don't like that I do, but I'm always catching myself treating him like my "rabbit foot."  As I think about it, I would be pretty annoyed if I was Jesus.  I would be like girl please, don't just call me when something breaks.  Thankfully He's a pretty graceful guy and loves me even when I reach for him when life isn't what I want.  Its actually pretty pathetic I had to talk with Jesus, because of my iPod.  He's done some pretty great powerful things in this life, that deserves recognition and a deeper relationship.
