Disconnection

This world today flies by so fast. It is always changing and never ending. People go on and on and it can be a very tiring experience. We try and do more and more, we get less and less sleep. As we continue to press on, it's fairly easy to see that its really very easy to lose track of things.

These things can be reading the Word, prayer, friends, family, etc. This recently has been something that has been bothering me. I know I should try and call my parents more often. I tend to only call them when I need something from them, never out of just a general concern or because I want to talk to them. There is always a purpose behind a phone call to them. It is not something I'm proud of at all and it needs to change.

I also found that I am lacking in my conversations with my "family" in Charleston. I haven't stayed in contact very much with the vast majority of my "family". I still talk to a few there, but it's not like it should. I haven't been sending my weekly email to the Men's small group like I began at the beginning. There is no real reason behind it either.

Today it is impossible almost to NOT have some form of communication with others. We, including me, sometimes very rarely actually use it. I need to get a better grip on my own self to push it to change. I should just send random messages at all various times to let them know I am thinking about them. It's about taking advantage of our genuine care for each other, not because we have alternative motives behind it. So who else wants to be in on this change? Who wants to make their loved ones feel more loved than like an obligation or last resort? Who wants to show that we aren't just an average American that has selfish motivations?

Well I am in for one...
God bless y'all
