Yesterday at our staff meeting, one of my colleagues showed a video of how quickly the internet and modern day electronics have taken hold in our society.  Social networking is a significant, some would say vital, part of our world.  Now we see people showing signs of withdrawal if denied access to these resources.  This article describes college students who are experiencing anxiety, misery, jitters etc. from being denied access.  It is a new world.  I admit, I love enjoy my computer, Iphone and Ipod.  I really want an Ipad.  But, I don’t “need” it.  Today, especially the generation of my children, think they “need” these devices.  Let’s be honest.  Teens today have no memory of a time that the internet didn’t exist.  Maybe we would benefit from some electronic sabbaticals.

I am an advocate for marriage for a number of reasons.  Among them is that it is good for kids from those marriages, it’s good for the health, both mental and physical of those who are married and because I know that God is pro marriage.  Add this to the list.  Healthy loving marriages help us to be better in so many areas of our life.
