In preaching the gospel I am not brought to a point in which I can blithely point to everyone else's sin. I am brought traumatically to a point where I am confronted by the enormity of my own, set in juxtaposition against the super-abounding grace of God. Only a God of magnificent grace and unparalleled mercy would dare to employ the worst to proclaim his best. He displays his glory through broken lives. He echoes his praise from faltering lips. He proclaims his majesty with faulty tools and foolish men.
Thus when I ran across this today I resolved to use it in this coming Sunday's service.

Lord take these fragments
And make them fragrant.

Lord, take the victories,
Defeats,
Distractions
And devotion of this week
And work through my failing efforts.

Lord take the words from this page,
These thoughts and prayers,
This exposition and application
And fill our company
Fill our hearts and lives,
With the certainty of your Truth-speaking.

Lord take us,
A body of broken believers,
Beleaguered by the realities of a broken world,
Tempted
Stretched
Frustrated with ourselves,
With our sin
With our setting in a planet of terrible beauty,
And grant us life from Christ,
That we might live for Christ.

Lord bless me,
Bless your people,
Bless us,
In spite of us,
And magnify Your name,
For Your own sake,
In the worship of your people.
--Andrew

In Part 1 of my series on transitioning from an iPhone to Android, I gave the background on why I made the transition, as well as my general purchase experience on switching to the Samsung Galaxy Note II (the Android phone I ended up switching to). In Part 2, I gave an in-depth review of the Galaxy Note II’s hardware, comparing it to both my iPhone 4, the iPhone 5, as well as other popular Android smartphones (the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the HTC One). In Part 3, I touched on the heart of switching to an Android phone, the Android OS (Operating System) itself.

In this final segment of the series (Part 4), I want to explain what led me to switch wireless carriers from Verizon back to AT&T.

A little background first. I started off with AT&T as my wireless carrier when I purchased my first iPhone, the iPhone 3G. The iPhone was both my first phone and my first smartphone, and since AT&T was the exclusive wireless carrier for the iPhone at the time, obviously I knew which wireless carrier I was going with when purchasing an iPhone. Since I was living in Hot Springs, Arkansas, at the time (which didn’t have 3G at the time, but EDGE was still decent), and had landline phone and DSL through AT&T, it also made sense to have my wireless service through AT&T as well. I was happy as an AT&T customer. I had unlimited data, rollover minutes on my Nation plan, unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling to all my friends and family (most of them had AT&T), as well as the perks of being an iPhone customer such as Visual Voicemail and hitting a 3G area when I traveled to Little Rock. All in all, I was satisfied with AT&T as my wireless carrier.

That is, until I moved to North Georgia…
