I am a bit ambivalent about change. At times I am quite resistant and wish to stick by the old ways. At other times, I am among those pushing for change. Early on I was convinced that we didn’t need a microwave in our kitchen. So it’s faster, but what is the rush. Finally, we got a microwave and now hardly a meal goes by that we don’t use it. Warming leftovers without over cooking them, thawing meat quickly, melting butter, all are much easier now. We recently added an Instapot to our kitchen. Now one pot meals are a breeze. Perfect and nice in 15 minutes, pulled pork in less than 60 minutes are just a couple of examples. I still think hot dogs cookers are ridiculous, but my verdict is pending on airfryers. In spite of my resistance some changes end up converting me from skeptic to champion. Others areas of life bring changes as well. Somethings I resisted turn out to be positive as I learn to live with them. Perhaps I ought more often to reserve judgment until I see how the changes play out over the long run. Changes in religious life can often bring out the most resistance. In part, this is because it matter so much to us. God initiated the greatest of changes when he sent us Jesus and look how that turned out!
