Microsoft Word vs. the Incarnate Word
As I was finishing writing a commentary piece today, I noticed a rather odd thing about Microsoft Word. With Word 2003, Microsoft introduced Smart Tags, a technology that automatically recognizes words and addresses and can interact with other Microsoft products to automatically enter text or perform other tasks. Today, however, I found that it had recognized “Christ Jesus” and tagged it as a personal name.
When I clicked on the icon above the name, the options made me snicker. As you can see from the screen shot below, I found I could schedule a meeting with Jesus or add Him to my contact list. Disturbingly, I also discovered I had the option to stop recognizing Christ Jesus. One wonders whether this might wreak havoc with my eternal salvation.

Be careful with that “Schedule a Meeting”! You might have an unfortunate accident!
