Well Connected?

There is no doubt that we are pummeled with tons of messages everyday- many of them designed to entice us to purchase or try a product or service.

I read recently that we take in as much information in one day as folks several decades ago were exposed to over the course of a year!

We're not entirely innocent victims here- some of us constantly have our eyes glued to our smartphones and other technology. In Philadelphia now police have begun writing tickets for pedestrians who are walking and texting without paying attention to their surroundings.

So- here's the question- how much are we created to "take in" each day? How much is healthy and helpful? What are we choosing to expose ourselves to? At the end of the day, are our lives richer and more fufilled because of our level of connectedness?

Try this-- UNplug from your tech toys for a night- day- or weekend...and watch what happens. That'll tell you quite a bit about where you're at with these things.

Check your focus- Remember these words:

Isaiah 51:6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail.

Thanks for joining me weekday afternoons. Thanks to for being part of our J93.3 listening family. Please PRAY specifically for our upcoming Sharathon- It starts August 15th.
