I’d like to start out by saying thanks to those of you who wrote email or left comments on the previous blog entry. It’s been really great hearing from you all. But it has left me thinking about the day and age in which we live and how readily available all the different forms of communication are to us and yet we don’t always put them to use. My mom and all her siblings speak weekly, if not daily, by cell phone or email. Now while some of us would consider that overkill, I’d venture to say most of us are feeling quite well if we talk to our siblings monthly and yet we have more ways to communicate now than ever before.
There was a time where only handwritten letters would send your words across the miles (and people were faithful to keep it going). Now we can twitter, call, email, my space, facebook, text, blog and the list goes on and we are less likely to communicate than ever before. Our world is so fast paced and it still boils down to one thing… TIME. It takes time to keep relationships going. Time to call or write what has been going on in your family and in your relationships. Time to care about others.
Let’s not let all this modern technology go to waste. Let’s strive to keep up better. To communicate more. To listen to others. Leave a comment and let me know how you are doing. I would love to hear from you.

Belinda, I know we are very guilty about not keeping in touch. We think about calling and then we get busy in our own little world and there goes the week or weeks or another month. It doesn’t mean we forget about everyone, we just don’t take the time. My prayer and hope for the future is we slow down and stay in touch more with everyone. We love you guys!
