I had an interesting thing happen this morning, as my husband and I were driving into town, I looked out my window and focused in on a bush in a passing yard. Then a brick mailbox, and more trees, plants, houses – but all appeared in their singular form to me and not as we usually see an entire yard or property. Wow, I realized just then they looked like they were on FarmVille or FarmTown! I was seeing them as one item, one bush set in a specific spot. Okay, I know I need to out more often! And not just virtually!
But it is fun and opens up new worlds that otherwise we would only hear about. Epals from every country in the world with internet access. Businesses, topics, games, social events and more, all at your fingertips. New opportunities, experiences and pitfalls, as well. It really is a parallel universe of another dimension.
Just like walking out your front door (in real time), you can travel anywhere – virtually virtually! And it's up to you how involved and how far reaching your experiences are.
Not only can you find places to research and study just about any subject, but you can find communities and groups interacting about those subjects.
There are not just sites about things like church, religion or Bible studies, but there are actual churches and Bible studies you can join right there online.
Never before has the potential for the whole world to be connected been a reality the way it is now.
It is so much fun to visit, catch up with, see pictures of all your friends and family even when they live hundreds of miles away. It's a wonderful vehical and tool. But that's what it is. A tool, a window, a vehical, a doorway — walk circumspectively into this world. Enjoy it, make new friends, keep in touch with old friends — but remember,
It is a real world, part of this world, those are real people out there. Yes, there are real dangers out there, as well as real opportunities, but there are real moments where you are coming in contact with real people who have real needs. Sometimes they are just as rude, or they can be just as loving as in the physical world. After all it isn't just a game or a fantasy, the laws of life still apply. It may seem like you have all the control in your hands and that's addictive — but reality is all around you, don't get lost or hide, make the most of each world, the physical and the virtual.
We are only pilgrims here for a season – virtually!
