Thoughts about Church and the Digital Realm

Hey there everyone,

Yes, I'm aware that it has been awhile since I last posted. I at the present time am still doing the college thing plus church work is keeping me fairly busy. I am a bit worried about an upcoming meeting on Tuesday. The main leaders of the church are meeting to discuss various issues. My gut feeling is that it will not be rather pretty and if not ugly then juts plain chock full of tension and frustration. I wish I could say more about the meeting yet, I cannot due to that it would affect what we as a church are trying to do. I also was pondering and just thinking about how our regular lives are intersecting and becoming more public/digital everyday. I recently found a friend of Facebook and I found out about his marriage. I did just more than find out about who he was married too, I found out who was at his wedding i.e the groomsman and bridesmaid etc. I found out how they came together plus how he propsed to his wife. Ya know what the scary thing is? I never attened the wedding nor asked him about it. I found all that information online. Scary isnt it? The digital realm such as my blog and Facebook etc are becoming more and more part of our lives. Information is increasingly becoming less private and is shifting more into the public realm. Being in communications I am rather aware of this fact and have read a few articles here and there about various aspects of the digital realm specifically Reality TV as a recent example.

I hope you ponder and consider that a bit this week. Have a good one! :)
