Remember the Apple commercials that proclaimed there was app for everything you could ever possibly want to do? Well I recently discovered there was an app for the new iPhone OS5 that secretly tracks and makes a record of people’s daily activities and then determines whether they are living a boring, uneventful, or uninteresting life.
The app has been termed “remarkably detailed” by technology experts and iPhone owners call it “depressingly accurate.”
Said one iPhone user, “ I am shocked that my phone has been documenting the fact that the highlight of my week is watching people how to figure out the self-serve checkout at Walmart. And yes, I don’t take vacations, or try new restaurants, talk to people, or read. But does that warrant my phone blinking “pathetic” on the boring scale?”
Other phone users have seen detailed charts mapping their daily tedium: Work, store, work, store, work, store, work, store, and then after 263 cycles a trip to the doctor to have a sore bunion evaluated.
Fortunately, the phone offers help for the sudden, insightful realization that you’re life is boring and uneventful. When the tedium reaches a critical mass, and concern over the economy and the uncertainties of the world limit the phone’s battery life, the app automatically launches your Bible app.
Boredom and monotony are symptoms of a life distracted from the awe-inspiring immensity of God. The Bible will help you bring your relationship with God back into focus and the adventure back in your life.

Joy: There’s not an app for that. But there’s a God for it.
