Wow! I am so happy to be living in a day an age where technology allows us to keep in touch with long lost friends that we would have never found otherwise. What a blessing that God ordained us for such a time as this… to use all of this technology for his glory.

Thanks for that challenging post, Natalie.
I enjoy facebook for keeping up with friends, yet you’re very right…it’s too easy to fall into the trap of letting virtual communication predominate how one gets to know a friend better. It’d be amazing if the few of us who are passionate about deeper, significant friendships (not on-the-surface, instant gratification, give me a 1 minute summary of who you are/what you’re doing/and how you’re doing type of relationships) would start a revolution.

Thank you so much for this post!!! I spend a lot more time with the internet than I do with family, Friends, and God.

Wow!
How did you know that's exactly what I have been mulling over lately? I agree 100%!

"Never before in the history of mankind have we had so many gadgets and methods of communicating with one another...and never in the history of mankind have we been so disconnected and alien to one another."

I don't remember where I saw that or who said it, but it sure struck me as truth!

Thanks for sharing this, Natalie!

I had to add this comment when I saw it in March 2007 of Reader’s Digest: “A recent survey reported that 27% of Americans take their cell phones to the bathroom, an indication that reading is definitely becoming a lost art.”

Wow! Take that for a reality check. But they should see my library!
