MIND OF TRUTH

I often have the opportunity to write technical documentation for users to help them through new applications or some new process. I think I'm pretty good at anticipating their needs so I'll try to address as much as I can in the document. I make it as simple as possible with screen shots, step by step instructions, and information for getting help. No matter how good the manual is, there are always those who will never even read it.

Too often I get in the way and my own self, pride, and fears become a hindrance, but when I step aside, God does amazing things. I couldn't be a father by any means without my heavenly Father. He is a Good Father!
