Pastor’s blog 6/29/10 unexpected connections
June 29, 2010
We truly live in an amazing time in this world. Yesterday I was on my facebook page and completely out of the blue I received a friend request on my facebook page from my uncle Bud. Bud isn’t actually my uncle he is my cousin. Bud is my father brother’s son. I have always called him uncle Bud because he is much older than I am. I haven’t communicated with Bud for years and here he is showing up on facebook. After accepting Bud’s request to be a friend on facebook I connected with his daughter Barbara through facebook. There is much critizism and discussion about facebook and its effect on communication. I guess that is only natural when 500 million people are using a technology like this. I certainly would love to see Bud and Barbara in person but that hasn’t happened for many years. Facebook gave me an easy way to reconnect with them and that is a blessing. Chatting with him yesterday dusted off many great memories and I am grateful for that.
