Look up is a very amazing, empowering, and view changing video about social media directed, written and created by Gary Turk. Watching the video you are struck with the reality that our "social media" is really making us unsocial. It takes away the face to face conversations, and our ability to communicate. Social media allows people to know what you are doing but not who you are. We have energy but instead of doing something productive we just sit around doing mind less activities on our phones or computers. The ultimate challenge of the video is to learn to co-exist or have the time spent on your social networks and video game be very limited. Instead read a book, clean, exercise, go out side, the list can go on and on. I am so guilty of this too but we just can't be a generation of idiots, smart phones and dumb people.
Take up the challenge that the video displays look up from your smart phones and take in the display. Take in your soundings an make the most of today. Be there in every moment! Give life attention don't waist all your time staring at some invention. Give people your love and not your like, go out into the world and leave distractions behind.
This video is brought to you by Right Now Media. I couldn't have said it better. Our world is not our home but it is our mission. Spread the love the Christ this Valentine's day. Learn to love the way He loves us. Single or in a relationship we all have the love of Christ flowing through our hearts. Will you choose to accept that love? With the love of Christ, Lizzy ---Next week: What is Love? ---
The day has come.... the world will finally have me in the realm of "adults." I've never felt more like a child. It has been in the days and months leading up to my adulthood that I have been most reliant on my parents for support and discipline. I've also been more reliant on my heavenly father than I have ever been. I've made my biggest mistakes and lived missing people 24/7. As my age tells me, I am an adult, and I've never wanted to be more like a child. I've done a lot of stupid things over the years, I've made tons of mistakes. As I have gotten, older my mistakes have lost the innocence factor that they once had. Most of the time I even give myself a bop on the head for making stupid mistakes. Recall when you were young, and you made a mistake but you know it was in the most adorable way possible. Then your parents had this mental battle going of reacting to your adorability and punishing you. I miss bein...
The past weeks have been crazy. I have wanted to post but days fly by so quickly. Anyways... As you read through Psalm 119 you see a lot of repetition. The psalmist brings us through his life as a Christian. We see the highs and lows, but we also see something that is constant. His reliance on scripture is constant. He ends the psalm by saying "I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commands." It is difficult to not get caught up in our daily struggles. Through these past weeks I have experienced some low moments, but I have never felt closer to God. Samuel Smiles puts the idea of lows poetically into words, "The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill: and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties, there would be no success: if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be...
Well said :D
