I just had to put this picture up! I'm so happy to have Eva Claire! She sure does love her mommy and daddy!
Many of us are in a serious relationship—with technology. We love it. We need it. It’s a big part of our lives. But some of us could care less. We’re just not that into it. We don’t need to text someone every minute. Some of us don’t even have a Facebook page. (Gasp.) But whether we are totally committed to it, or could easily see our lives without it, we can’t escape the reality that technology exists in our lives. And that’s not always a bad thing. Because technology isn’t evil. But what we do with it, how we use it, says a lot about our relationship with it... and our relationship with Christ.
Parents, take some time this week to talk with your student about technology. Just for one conversation let go of your parental duties and curiously talk with them about cell phones, tv, computer, etc. solely for the purpose of finding out what their heart's connection with technology. Also, let them ask you questions too! So, once you put down the Blackberry, here is a starter question for your conversation. "What is my relationship with technology?" (You may want to answer this for each other.)
It may be out of left field. It may not be the way you've ever thought. Consider it.
Jordan
“He who fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for his children it will be a refuge.” Proverbs 14:26b
