...I have a cell phone, it doesn't mean I have to answer when you call...
...a text message will tell me what you want and doesn't give me the option to not answer a call, doesn't mean I have to respond to your text message...
...my cell phone lets me know you've emailed me, doesn't mean I have to respond...
sometimes I want to eat dinner without interruption...
sometimes I want to enjoy my evening without thinking about work...
sometimes I want to leave technology at the door...
...although, if I really believed that I would have...
...turned my cell phone off...
...not replied to the text message...
...never read the email to begin with...
Just because the world has changed, and people think that if they call your cell phone you have to answer, or if they text message you, you should answer, or emails should be taken care of after 5 and before 9, does it mean we have to adhere to it?
Imagine if we suddenly found ourselves unable to contact someone until when they show up tomorrow morning, would what we want to know really be all that important??
I guess progress is something that has it's pros and cons... just a thought

Still got life.... Still got words...
Can anyone tell me why the last time I wrote something on this blog was on a cruise boat where I was probably paying $0.50 / minute to access the internet and now when internet costs me $0.0011574074 / minute (average based on a 50.00 / month internet charge and a 30 day month) I haven't written anything for over 2 years.
I find that every time I promise I will write I rarely write, so I will make no promise today, because that would seem the demise of anything future that I might do (in my past experiences). However, to continue to live life not believing that my past experiences will become my future, I will make this statement, "I'm gonna do my very best to put my thoughts on page often, because it helps me."
A really smart person (My wife....yah, I got married since I last wrote here) said to me, and many others, "complaining to the people around you gives you few friends and even fewer results, but sharing your heart with God, as ugly and painful, angry and sad it may be, will bring freedom, release, comfort and incredible results..." So this page might just be me venting to God, somedays it could be me just sharing my simplest of thoughts (wait for it...they get pretty simple sometimes), and other days it could just be reciting something someone else said that I want to write down so i'll remember it. No matter which way it goes, i'm bookmarking this page so i can come back to it often, in fact, it might just become my homepage so I remember to stop and think, ponder and write.
Love to all, all for Love,
