I could hardly believe my eyes, $65 in text messages. We are archaic parents who do not believe in the text messaging. We believe that if two people want to communicate, maybe they should try talking - in person or on the phone. After many exorbitant bills we had just blocked one child's phone from text messages, now another one has gone bad. It is amazing the high cost to stay connected.
In the "old days", if you moved you communicated by a large long distance bill or wrote letters. (Pieces of paper, placed in items called envelopes that required stamps). It is much easier to stay connected now. I am so thankful we moved to Texas in the age of technology. We are able to read the local paper and watch local news via the Internet - even when "local" means half way across the country. Through e-mail I have connected with people in Colorado, Oregon, Illinois, California and Guam just this week.
I marvel at the fact that I can have a friend share a concern, prayer request, problem and I can respond almost instantaneously. I don't have to worry if they're not home, or the time difference. I can write and connect. Connections make far away friends and family seem closer.
In a way we are catching up to God. He has always had the best technology. We pray - instantly He hears us. We're connected. We feel his closeness. I'm thankful for connections.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
