PICNIC WITH TED

Before the La Cross game today my wife and I found some shade and had a picnic lunch.  Since I had my Kindle with me, we watched a TED TALK together. 


Speaking at TED when Billy Graham was 80 years old, he marvels at technology's power to improve lives and change the world.  I was impressed that after all these years, he has not
wavered from his mission - regardless of the audience.

In fact, through humor and illustration, he tailored his talk to the basic needs of the techies at this conference.  Billy Graham is an amazing communicator; witty, articulate, and convicting.

His basic message was simple: technology brings amazing benefits to humanity, but it’s failure to alleviate the brokenness of the human heart ultimately point us to our need for a Savior.  What we appreciated most about his talk was that Graham did not give it to a church audience who would immediately agree with him. Instead in his audience was some of the greatest technological minds ever gathered, many of whom are no friends of religion.
