Reality Check

Yesterday I decided to join the revolution that is twitter...not because it interests me that much but because it seems to me that the God's people can't get left behind in the technological age, to keep up to date with what the world is at and because we need to raise up talented people who can make the internet a useful tool for the Glory of God rather than the glory of mindless rubbish (like blogging you may say) or for the glory of porn which has obviously made its mark in this technological age.

When thinking about Twitter, it got me thinking about facebook, bebo, hotmail and I'm sure you can think of all the other social networking websites you can get involved in, but it got me thinking.... do we need a reality check?

People, including myself it has to be said, add themselves to these sites and put across their personal information and how they want to be portrayed, however, it lessens the importance of relationships...i mean how many times have you been out but most people are on their mobile phones even though they are in a room full of real people?

Are we trying to get away from facing up to reality, reality of life, reality of this world, reality of God, reality of eternity... do we need to put the laptop, computers and mobiles down? do we need a reality of check?
