Me and my best friend were at Dunkin Donuts in Tennessee just last week and a young woman was in there on the cell phone. She could have been texting, surfing, or even chatting with someone ~ we were not sure; however, my friend said, "She is so engrossed with being on that phone, she is not aware of anybody around her". That is so true! We as a human race are replacing interaction with each other with technology.
I know when I was substitute teaching, so many of the teenagers could not even walk down the hall with their head up, because they were texting someone on the phone. It is detrimental to their learning and their success! UNLESS, they are using it in a positive way.
Technology is so amazing how we are able to reach people world wide! But, like she said, we are so oblivious to those around us, we overlook how important it is to interact with others, especially our family.
We use it to date, bully others, argue, and even send inappropriate pictures that can ruin a person's reputation for life!
It's like the Hatfield and McCoys. Constantly looking for a reason to engage in conflict. By the way we went to the dinner party in Tennesse and had so much fun. Look closely at the picture and I'm the shooter and my best friend is the drinker! Haha! Anyway ~ Those things that have consumed all of our time, is also hurting our families and ourselves.
It's not any fun telling others about behaviors that we all engage in more than we should or is it any of my business how you maintain your home! But, it is my business to encourage a behavior worthy of praise from God that you are being a woman of virtue!
