A friend got me roped into Facebook this week. For those unfamiliar with it, it is a cyber-community site where you can find friends from all over the place and keep in contact.
On the one hand it has been really exciting and fun to find all sorts of friends from days gone by. One nice thing about being a pk and being in ministry myself is that you end up with friends everywhere.
The funny thing to me was that I was facebook-ing the other night and my neighbor from half-a-block away and I starting corresponding and are now cyber-friends on facebook. Its was just funny to have a cyber-conversation with someone I could see and should see more often face-to-face as my neighbor.
It reminded me of the catch-22 of technology. While it brings us together it also keeps us apart.
