December already?

This year has flown by. I don't know if it is because of my age or if it is because of the world in which we live. I follow a blog of a young lady who has the heartbeat of her generation in her hand. She understands the fast pace in which we live. To what is that attributed?

Can I live a day without my cell phone, computer, iTouch, telephone, or radio? We don't have television, and I don't miss it most of the time. (I did make Armin set it up for the Olympics!)How often do we get concerned when we can't reach someone for more than an hour? Remember when we would go weeks without hearing from a loved one? Now, if that person is not reached we start to worry. I think we have more worries than the previous generation.

So how do we combat it? Much of our stress/worry is self-inflicted. By that I mean, we bring it on ourselves. Can we go a day without hearing from someone? Do we always have to be tuned to the pulse of the world? I think if we just start taking life one day at a time, as God says, we will be better off.

Now, can I do this? I am going to run an experiment over my Christmas break and see what happens. I'll keep ya'll posted.
