Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad! Although, I doubt either one of them will ever see this post :) They don't go online much, unless they have to and only check email if they have to. Funny how they are in their mid 50's and somehow have managed to stay out of the whole email/facebook thing. Probably because they don't have time. They keep busy enough with lots of other things that to sit on a computer that they don't enjoy figuring out, is a waste of time.
I found out the other day, that this 90+ year old man checks blogs, facebook, and email. I was quite impressed. I don't know too many 90, or for that manner 60-80 yr olds that go on a computer much, if at all.
Amazing to think how times have changed. Most people I know get on their computer at LEAST once a day if not many more. I for one, am on it probably too much. Would really help if I didn't facebook, blog, etc. But then I wouldn't know the things I know. But how important area they, really? It just keeps me connected. Connected to those around me or even far from me.
My parents life has changed over the past 32 years, but never drastically. They have 7 children, live in the same house that they moved into right after they got married. Still go to the same church. My dad still has the same job. My mom stays at home and has done things here and there on the side, like childcare out of her home and sewing/alterations. Not too much has changed, other than they and their children have grown older and time seems to go by really quickly.
Some verses that come to mind are in Romans 8. May we not find comfort in the things that are constant in our lives, but in the never-changing love of Christ.
"31What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised— who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36As it is written,"For your sake we are being killed all the day long;we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."
