Every invention has the potential to improve our lives or enable some task we never before considered. This is due in large part to the Lord inspiring those who invent these new devices and systems. Yet any tool can be perverted for inappropriate uses. We often seem to forget why the Lord provides the tools He does. It is crucial that we remember that the computer exists in order to facilitate the work of the Lord. A key function of this is the work we do to redeem the dead. I hope that as we are faced with thy myriad distractions online that we spend some time regularly to help those who came before us prepare for their eternal salvation. Just as they built the cities and temples during their lives so we can be blessed in our time, we must use the tools available to us to help their spiritual growth now. We must remember the adage of doing the best things available with our time instead of things that are merely good. Because the Lord does not care about our high scores or funny blog posts, but He does expect us to do our part to further His work.
