BENEATH…

I cannot deny that I’ve become internet dependent these days. As is obvious to all, I am a facebook addict. It is at least a good 3-unit addictive facebook course while you are in the seminary. You get to talk with people and actually do ministry in ways you’ll neverrrrrrr know. Add to that the fact that I am a blog addict; that’s not just blogging but reading blogs too. If you don’t know what a blog is, I’m blogging now. And if you are reading this on facebook, it is an imported blogpost from my wordpress blog.  I maintain five blogs.

So where am I going at here? Let’s just say that if you are alone, inside the dorm, and you have no family with you, and just like you, your dormmates are in and out of the dorm; they are as busy as you are and schedules aren’t exactly the same… you get the idea that social networks are ways to talk to people online. These aren’t just people you don’t know but close friends and family as well. Now it may sound like something pathetic that people like me don’t have a life outside of the dorm or something, but let’s just say that the distance is another story. When your friends and family are living miles away from you, you get updates of their lives and see photos of them on these social networks. You can read about their days on their blogs and you can also play with them on applications like farmtown. Right. That reminds me of my farm. Now if you want more… I have been able to talk to our church members who are in other countries and also out of town for a work assignment. Isn’t that something? I get to pray for them and talk to them. But to be honest with you… I AM ACTUALLY RANTING NOW.

I just wish that our internet would be back now so that all of the things I do on the internet are not blocked. I am just so glad that I can write this post now after trying to go to numerous Open DNS blocked sites. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Lord have mercy on the whining Jana.
