Feeling Disconnected!

Hebrews 10:25
"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."

Endulge me as I continue on with my thoughts from yesterday.  I cannot tell you how many people are disconnected from each other.  With our advancement in technology, i.e, texting, instant messaging, chat rooms, e-mail, and other sorts of non-personal communication devices, people are becoming more and more isolated from one another.

Don't get me wrong, I love the ability to communicate quickly, to pass on an idea, or send information to someone, but when our sole source of communication is via technology, we sorely miss human bonding and intimacy. 

That is why the writer of Hebrews told us to keep meeting together.  I love how the Easy to Read Version puts it, 5 We must not quit meeting together, as some are doing. No, we need to keep on encouraging each other. This becomes more and more important as you see the Day getting closer.

Are you feeling separated from others, then turn off the computer, stop texting, and meet someone for lunch, face-to-face and let the human bonding begin.
