Probably far too much time. But today I have spent time with family, and this evening with a friend. I enjoy talking with people on Facebook but there is nothing better than spending time face to face. For people who are introverts it must be very tempting to keep people at bay on the internet, but really it is well worth the effort to get to know someone in the same room. Communicating owes a lot to body language which helps clarify what your friend is feeling and meaning in what they say. I think it would be a good idea to have at least one computer free day each week so that you can discover other things about life and make some tangible friends. I haven't been doing this but I think it is a good plan. I will try to remember to tell you how I get on.
Every time I take a few days off from my blog my ratings slump. Very rarely do people go back into my old posts and read again. This is a typical attitude of the human heart, always wanting something different. At this time of year we should not be greedily wondering want new thing we will be getting for Christmas. Instead we should be looking at the old, old story, which is ever new of a baby who amazingly was God incarnate, God's gift to those who will put there trust in this one who was to grow up to give His life for His people. Set aside the controversy over whether December 25th is the actual date of His birth.(Shepherds do not keep their sheep out at night in Israel in December.) and set aside time to think about the fact that He did come and ponder if He came to set you free and if your answer is ,"Yes," He will make you free indeed.
