This video of Marshall Soulforce Jones called Touchscreen is an interesting commentary on technology and social interaction (or lack thereof).

The scripture for this week is: "they that wait upon God, shall renew their strength."  So, that got me thinking about waiting and how I don't often find waiting a very strengthening activity - just the opposite usually!  I think a lot of that depends on our attitude.  I was talking with one mom who was introducing me to her 3 week old baby - a complete treat for me to hold such a very wee young person!  Anyways, she was saying that it has been funny hearing the different reactions from friends who have had children.  If it is a really long time since the person had their babies, she would hear: "enjoy this time - it passes by all too quickly!"  If it was a mom whose babies had just gotten out of diapers, she would hear: "don't worry - this phase won't last forever!"  Our perspective makes a big difference as to how enjoyable the waiting is.  Part of the goal might be to stay connected to the present moment and not look to either what's to come, or what used to be - but just stay connected to the moment you are in.  The strengthening part of the present moment might be an opportunity to simply be still and know that you are in exactly the right place at the right time.  I was also thinking about what happens when I am in my car in a traffic jam.  I can very easily go to that place of road rage and curse everyone around me who seems to be moving at a snail's pace.  However, what can turn that around is if I put some good tunes in the disc player and let the music carry my heart to a better space!  So the strengthening part of a wait over which we have no control might be to allow music to change the mood and lighten the anxiety.  Life is full of moments that involve "waiting" - waiting for our children to be born, waiting for our children to grow up, waiting for test results to come back, waiting for a long-anticipated holiday to arrive, waiting for...and the list goes on.  My hope is that we find ways to allow the waiting time to be life-giving, and that we feel the strengthening presence of God enabling us to walk courageously towards wherever the wait may be leading us.
