Whew! Been a while since I wrote here. Not sure why exactly. So busy, I guess. With my son playing football and me helping coach (probably pretty laughable), our time as a family seems so limited. I suppose the last thing I’ve wanted to do was sit in front of a computer longer than I have to and write. An attempt at balance, though, is certainly called for and I’m hoping to get back to regular or at least semi-regular posting.
I did want to share something that might be a benefit to some. At The Gathering, we are trying really hard to make life-changing connections. Everybody wants and needs community and in our technological age, that can be both easier and harder at the same time. While (as I’ve already pointed out) sitting in front of a computer for hours on end can rob you of valuable time spent with those with whom community could be built, it’s also a good opportunity (if approached cautiously) to help connect. I think we have all been doing this techno-thing long enough that we know how this works…or doesn’t.
Having said that, along with our regular Facebook page where we connect, we’ve launched a Facebook Prayer page. If you have some special needs that you’d like somebody to pray for, head over to Facebook.com/GatheringPrayer and post. If someone hits the like button, you know it’s been prayed for. Also, share updates and comment on other requests (just know that it’s monitored and abuse of any kind will be deleted and blocked). Hopefully, this will fall into the latter column of “helpful” in building an online community that can translate into real, live and meaningful relationship. Oh, and please take a minute to go ahead and “like” that page so you can stay updated.
