There can be no doubt that we are all connected.  Our actions or inaction have immediate and far reaching consequences.  To be careless or thoughtless is a choice that comes with consequences.

As large as the world seems, technology has brought us closer to one another.  Sadly, this closeness doesn’t always translate to compassion.

Compassion demands care and intimacy.  But this virtual reality consuming so many of us often breeds unhealthy comparison, competition, and cruelty.  We are not closer to one another.  We are ‘connected’ but we are also more isolated.  We are more  ‘connected’ but somehow loneliness is being reported at record highs! 

So, while I’m writing this message using the very technology that I am criticizing, I want to encourage you to be careful – not in an anxious way – but rather take care at what and how much you consume and consider what you create.  Your words and ideas have consequences!  Use your power for good!  Get it?

Be compassionate to one another!

¹³ For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. ¹⁴ For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” ¹⁵ But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another. 

Galatians 5:13–15

Good Morning, I love you all!
