I found this article today: The Flight From Conversation , H/T to Tim Challies .  It seems as we continue to become more "connected" we are losing the richness that comes from true connection. Here are some quotes from the article.      "FACE-TO-FACE conversation unfolds slowly. It teaches patience. When we communicate on our digital devices, we learn different habits. As we ramp up the volume and velocity of online connections, we start to expect faster answers. To get these, we ask one another simpler questions; we dumb down our communications, even on the most important matters. It is as though we have all put ourselves on cable news.

Those are tough thoughts.  What do you think?  How do you live a life that shows your absolute reliance on Him? - God's Man PS.  I will share my thoughts in the next post.
