More Stuff, Less Connection

Okay, today is my day to gripe about something. Why is it that we are less connected when there is so much technological communications STUFF! To reach each other, we have:

• Telephone, land line and cell
• Email
• Instant messages
• Blue tooth (What the heck is that?)
• Postal mail
• Beepers (Do people still use them?)
• and many others I don't even know about

But, how often do we initiate or receive contact with people with the goal of truly connecting to them? Booty calls and hooking up, don't count, because they tend to be temporary. Pick up the phone! Email somebody! Blue tooth someone (if that is the correct phrase). And when you do reach the person, say something that will bring you genuinely closer.

God wants us to not just be aware of each other, but to connect. Make it a point of making someone smile today. Don't go to bed until you have uplifted someone who may down. Take proper advantage to witness about God's goodness.

Let's reverse the status quo of "more stuff, less connection".
