Starting out on the new adventure

Blogging for me has taken some getting used to as my generation is still wanting that personal touch. Twittering and blogging seems non-personal. Last night I was watching an old TV program with my wife called “Touched by an Angel”. The program started out with the busyness of the lives, cell phones, gameboys, and now computers (the character using the cell phone was using an antique, even by my standards…made me laugh although it did remind me of the first one I had.) Tess, the head Angel if you recalled the program, made a comment that people are so removed from personal touch they lose touch with the things that matter. Sometimes they don’t know what to say when they actually are in each other’s presence. I chuckled as I had to agree. So I start out this journey of learning to “blog” and “twitter” and yes even “facebooking” in order to stay current and in contact with the “now” generation. I find myself going to those sites and just staring at the page not knowing what to do next so I leave or as on my facebook just look around at what others are doing. But today I am venturing out to the world of getting a new phone…I think they call it the IPHONE…they tell me it will actually tell me where I am…I can’t wait for that. Maybe it will tell me where God is…or, lead me too Him. Whatda think…nah.. I have heard it does have the whole bible you can download and have it ready at your finger tips anytime. I’ll be certainly looking for that feature. So here I go and as I go I will do my best to journal…no I think it’s called blogging, so you will be able to track my progress. Any encouragement you would like to give me along the way would be appreciated…pray for me…I am feeling “touched by an angle”….
