Technology, it's not all bad

I always go back and forth on the use of modern technology in our home. Sometimes I think it's the most amazing thing ever and the next moment I believe it to be the devil incarnate ;-)

For instance, we haven't had television in our house for over a year. It has been so great for our family, but today we used technology in the most incredible way. We video skyped with one of Adrienne's girls she mentors in The Netherlands. Allison, has been traveling and serving in ministry for the last 3 months and will be gone for 4 more months returning to Mesa in December. When Allison gets home, she will have served in the Czech Republic, Uganda, Kenya, Latvia, and a few other places. Today, we spoke face to face. Shared stories about what God has been doing in our lives and prayed together. It was a worshipful and fun time. All because of technology.

Later this weekend, we're going to video skype with one of our dearest friends and his wife in the czech republic. Not bad.

grace and peace,
matt
