smartphone (computer and social networking) addiction
“Not long ago only doctors were on call all the time. Now everybody is.”
“How many people can honestly say that they have never pruned their e-mails to put off tackling more demanding tasks?”
“Employees find it ever harder to distinguish between “on-time” and “off-time”—and indeed between real work and make-work. Executives are lumbered with two overlapping workdays: a formal one full of meetings and an informal one spent trying to keep up with the torrent of e-mails and messages.”
“None of this is good for businesspeople’s marriages or mental health.”
These important quotes are from a recent article in “The Economist” I urge you to read it and interpret it broadly… in other words, not just your smart phone, but all the screens you sit gazing at… oh, and if you are not a business person, this STILL applies to you.

Oh, I have “The Servant” ready in Netflix… you may hear more about it…

back on the rails
if we view life as a journey, we find ourselves together with people in a compartment in the train we ride on…
I left Budapest on a train…
…to get to Szeged where I spoke at church on using questions, relationships and Scripture in discipling relationships…
the question is, what do we do with those people? Do we ignore them? Reach out? intentionally connect with them?
At the next stop, when you look out the window, you will see people get on the train, they may enter the compartment you are in, what will you do?
Venus, Jupiter and the crescent moon
my long faithful (we figure 5yrs), but now dead Canon took this (blurry cuz I had no steadying surface, sorry) as its last night photo on Sunday night.
On the left and below are Jupiter and Venus (according to a web search) and the largest light is a crescent moon… it was pretty cool to behold walking up the street to the Luper’s. Joanna and I have been collaborating on what the replacement camera that best fits my use over here could be… CLICK here to see what I’m thinking about.

last leg of the southern loop
I should have just pulled away from platform two in Beograd for the last leg of this part of the trip which began two weeks ago this past Thursday…

3 weeks and am thankful
So far, I am blessed to have safely moved through 7 border crossings, visited 10 cities, spoken to 6 groups, had countless cups of coffee, ridden 6 trains, 4 buses (a new record) and all along the way I’ve gotten to speak with many people (translated into four languages) where I have been able, like the Psalmist, to give glory to God for His faithfulness. I have been able to speak via Skype to my Sweet Anna almost every day and am grateful for technology that allows us to do what we do for God’s glory and the living and speaking of His Gospel… I am a blessed man indeed.
