Technologically Challenged
|
Matthew 12:36 "But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken." I can hardly believe I am taking the giant leap into the world of blogging. It's a bit scary for me. The perceived anonymity of just being able to "surf the web" is suddenly removed as I sit here typing from my heart. Now my words will become a part (albeit infinitesimal) of countless other words circulating in cyberspace. A huge galaxy of thoughts, and mine kind of like a distant, hardly recognizable star farther off than my mind can grasp. But, nevertheless, I know it's out there. Those words, once posted can remain there indefinately, for better or for worse, and I can't take them back. With that in mind, I expect I will take great care in what I post. And yet, as I am challenged with that knowledge, I think about the words I have spoken to those whom I so dearly love that also cannot be taken back. While those words are not necessarily floating around in cyberspace, they linger in the far reaches of one's heart, for better or for worse. And I'll have to give an account for all of those words someday (that thought terrifies me). The awareness of how far-reaching techology is has challenged me to cautiously reflect on what I will post here. Moreover, realizing now that the words I speak (CONFESSION: sometimes hastily or flippantly), those words that I consider merely soundwaves lost in the air after they have left my mouth, they too remain "out there" and will need to be accounted for in front of the King of all kings. So, as I "Sher With You", I pray that I can keep these words close to my heart and guard as vigilantly what I speak as what I write. |
