In this amazingly connected world, I am in a place that has 'limited or no connectivity'. That means no Man-stuff Monday yesterday. It puts me a little behind for the week, but brings to mind an interesting conundrum of our time.
With our ability to communicate so close at our fingertips, why do we seem to be so distant? Why are we, the followers of Christ, making less of an impact on the society in which we live? Why are we as parents so disconnected from our children?
It seems as though our ability to communicate more freely has only aided in making us more exclusive in our communication. We get into our huddles, be they in person or via online communities, and bask in our encouragement of one another. We have multitudes of friends online, but forget the importance of interaction with our spouse and children. I update my status, but forget to update my relationships.
Who have we impacted today? Does someone know more about Christ because of me? Has my spouse had real contact from me? (it's ok, I just emailed her) Are my children secure in their relationship with me because of time spent together?
Let's make some real contact and make a real difference.
