THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK.A thought on modern day living by Revd. Peter
The art of conversation is dying. I recently saw a couple in a coffee shop sipping their coffee while each looking at their i-phones. No talking just tapping at the infernal device.
Get on any train as I have done of late and as soon as a passenger gets in their seat, out pops the wretched device. Even a group of friends sit there tapping away without conversation. I saw a young child with its parents. The child was clutching an i-phone and probably no more than four years old.
Whatever next?
In fact, get on any form of transport and out comes the device. And what of those walking viewing their device, quite oblivious to anyone walking towards them. I refuse to have my life dictated to by a phone.
My life is dictated to by God's word to me and how best I can carry out His will. It's a fact, conversation is on a downward spiral. We live in a 'Heads-Down' generation. Is it not time to look up?!
