I wonder if there is a ministry in texting. A man in our church has gone in for triple bypass surgery. Understandably his wife is a bit nervous and she is texting everyone who has a phone. I am in the loop and I am thinking that every little ping helps to distract her and allow her to relax.
I for one get judgmental when I see people who seem to live on their phone. Maybe they need to be judged. Maybe I do. Maybe they are supplying a vital human link to someone in need. It is a better way to look at it as long as they don’t walk out in front of a bus.
I wonder if there is a spiritual gift of texting. Asking for a friend.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Comments are welcome. Feel free to agree or disagree but keep it clean, courteous and short. I heard some shorthand on a podcast: TLDR, Too long, didn't read.
