My latest addiction is facebook. There is such a fascination with getting reconnected with old friends and new friends. I am competitive so when I saw that my friend Josh Britt had more friends than I did...I was like 'No way!' So I found more friends and added more and more until I surpassed him. Yea me!
Well it seemed like a good idea except that now I have so many friends that I cannot keep up with all of them. I'm posting comments on my friend's wall, sending pieces of flair, chatting via the chat tool, adding pictures...and the list goes on. What I am NOT doing is really making any long-term, deep connections that I believe can only truly be done by spending alot of quality one-on-one, face time with one another.
So tonight I left facebook behind and went to connect with some women at my church. We are starting this First Friday Felllowship event that our Women's Ministry sponsors each month. You come just as you are to chat, play games, eat and craft. So I ran by and picked up my friend, Michelle, and off we went to the event. I had such a great time spending quality time with some wonderful ladies and I didn't have to send a friend request to make that connection.
