Today, I am rolling out of the office and taking my “show” on the road up to Manhattan, KS. I am visiting with students and friends from our church attending school up at K-State. The plan is to get there, grab some lunch, and come back to Hutch.
I posted yesterday some thoughts on Facebook. My trip today is even further proof that there is a different dynamic at work when I visit these people face to face. You see if I was a friend of theirs on Facebook or sent them an email saying “I’m hoping your doing well” those would be kind gestures. However, when I actually go visit face to face with them, they feel cared for and I am able to communicate so much more effectively my love, concern, appreciation and knowledge of their lives and circumstances. These are things that Facebook can’t really deliver on to this degree of depth.
Anyway, you can tell I’m still ranting away on this issue. It will probably never die as long as I’m alive, but it seems good today to be able to visit with friends and see how God is working in their lives. Pray that I have a productive visit with them all.
