Sometimes I will be writing a text message on my phone and get incredibly frustrated with the prediction texting mode.  It is supposed to make the whole thing easier-- and sometimes it does--  but other times I swear it takes me three times longer to correct prediction texting mistakes than it should have taken to send the whole thing (and it takes me forever to write and send a text message anyway).  I just tried to type "texting" and it guessed "textimg."  Every time I try to type "of" it automatically enters "me."  The best is when I try a new word-- God forbid it should be a multi-syllable word-- and the prediction mode freaks out and just starts giving random letters or what appears to be words from an Eastern European language that I don't "tofepsubof," I mean understand.   That's just "rijly," er, I mean silly.  

The other day I was texting a friend to tell her I had a change of plans because I got into a fight with my boyfriend and she replied by asking  "you ok?"  I typed "totally bummed," with the 286633 keys but when I looked up at the screen I noticed that I was instead "totally atoned."  This stopped me dead in my tracks because it was like God had just straight up texted me. 

 "Atoned," according to Wikipedia, "describes how sin can be forgiven by God."  In that moment it was like all the terrible things I was feeling about what a bad person I am were spoken for.  Whatever it was that my boyfriend and I had just been divided over and no matter how broken or mean we were to one another, all I wanted was to know that everything was going to be okay and that even though we are not perfect people in a perfect relationship, we could be forgiven and in love.  And we are.  Thank God.
