Thats all....?

I am not a “Gadget" kind of guy, but recently I was lured into the world of the super geek.  I just got a blackberry, one that came out with a lot of hoopla; it boasted a lot of neat features and a 3.2 mega pixel camera.  I got it in the mail, opened it, and spent hours programming it and setting it up.  Then I set out to take some cool and artistic pictures with the fancy camera on my blackberry.   The following 30 minutes were less than ideal.  The camera stunk!  Bowls of fruit were great, but anything so much as breathing would make the photos turn out awful and blurry.....Huge let down.  Then to make matters even worse about a week later, the camera just quit working all together, just turning it on would make my whole phone lock up.  Need less to say I was not happy and I searched the Internet to try and fix my problem, no one could help me.  I asked people who had the same phone I had and they couldn't help me either.  So I just lived with it.  I put it out of my mind and resolved that was just how it had to be.  Then one day I was driving on my way to my office and it dawned on me...what about the company who sold you the phone? Genius!  Maybe they could help?  So I went into my local Verizon wireless store walked up to the "tech desk" explained my problem and in less than 5 minutes I had a new phone issued to me.  Then man asked me how long this had been going on and when I told him about 6 months, he looked over the top of his glasses at me and simply asked, "Why"?  "I don't know", was all I could muster.  6 months I had let this go on, when the answer to my questions was right down the street.  Not getting your phones camera fixed is just silly, but enduring Life’s hardships while the fix is right there, is just ridiculous.  How many times I have endured things in my life just accepting them as "as good as it gets" and missed God right there, ready to fix, ready to love, and ready to repair.
