Church and Scripture

The Church used to only not be a place or worship but also a social gathering. When people went to church they stayed longer because all of the important people in their lives were with them. They shared stories and traditions, Sunday truly was a holy day. Today, our Sunday's are full of sports, homework, and church if we can find extra time. We are not getting the full experience of church where it is more than looking nice for the parish boys but exploring our faith together and believing in God as one community. Our worlds have grown we talk to people all over the country like they are sitting at the table with us and that innovation is great but we cannot forget the other people actually sitting at the table with us. Our generation has gone global so fast that we do not understand the difference a smile may make in someones life even if you don't know them and even if it's not on a screen. Acknowledging those around us even only for one hour even Sunday means so much more than the :) at the end of a text.
