finally I have blogger on my iPhone!!

So hopefully now my blogging should be up to date... Maybe

Altho I can not work out if this a good thing yet!

I have one of many thoughts at the moment... It has taken a long time, but now a relationship I gave longed for almost all my life is amazing, a little too late. But will be a blessed memory forever...

Its been a while...

So it has been an age since my last blog... not masses to update anyone on really...

I am on the move again, my flat is being sold so i am off to another flat about a mile away from where i am... it is a little bigger than what i have now... so winner!

So...

i have had a mass influx of technology in my life as of late... the iphone is now my very own, and church have new laptops and i been reflecting the need or desire to communicate or at least make your mark in the internet world...

when i think about network sites i am only a member of facebook... but then when i list other sites that aren't myspace or bebo... i realise i network online more than i would have thought...

blogging (clearly)

facebook

twitter 

and my latest... snaplog

what do i want to achieve from all this posting, wall writing and pokes?!

first i need to point out i haven't ever come to the point where i have needed to poke someone via facebook- two reasons... store them up for reality and it just seems silly to poke when you could just say hi, but meh that's just me...

i say at some point each week how i like to have the attention... which is true

[for example my performance at karaoke last night wasn't just a simple singing but act for anyone who would watch, which turned out to be a few]

... so then is all this just ways of just jumping up and down and saying look at me?

or is there more?

should there be more?

i think there is... our worth comes from how we are seen in others... how best to work out how someone feels about us by giving them something to react to?

So then am i (us/we/you) just asking everyone to tell us what our worth is?

As a Christian the bible tells us what we are worth to God... everything.

This should be enough... shouldn't it?

and it is, but there are times when you need people around you so show that love, that affirmation.

I was preparing sundays discussion today, as a church we are starting 40 days of community on sunday so we are starting it in the teen classes too this first one fore us is 'better together' 'belonging'...

Paul writes in three different letters the value of the community who are together, each having their own gifts and abilities to the benefit of the whole....

together we make more sense than alone...

so then is internet engagement part of this or is it still too superficial? is it skating on the top when we need to go further... the further then real life engagement which no amount of pictures, words or hits can replace?

how to we make the reality of interfacing via a source of wires and blinking lights more than just a flat screen?
