Information Overload

Pam Weinreis • Sep 13, 2022

The 21st century has been called the era of science and technology (and now data), especially with technological developments over the last few decades.

The world wide web, www. has made information from around the globe widely available.


If used correctly, it would save us time.


We can navigate new places with ease.


We can send instant messages.


We can share photos and videos as never before.


Modern technology has given us better communication means.


We can inquire about anything that comes across our minds.


The average person spends 6-8 hours on their phone a day.

on their phone a day.

How many hours do you spend on your phone?


We cannot imagine a life without the technology on our phones.


Are we wiser people?


Has technology made us better communicators?

Every day, more and more people are using text or instant messages and/or other instant networking sites to

communicate with one another.


Every day fewer and fewer people choose to meet in person or even talk on the phone.

Facebook CEO himself clearly states, “Facebook exists to connect every person in the world.” In 2004 when Facebook was created, it was for the local connection, but today, we can have a global connection through a more robust network.


Due to the technology through apps we can photoshop any picture creating a perfect world for others to see.


However, in reality, we live far from a picture-perfect world. A world of busyness, messy homes, lawns needing to be mowed, kids needing attention, and dirty dishes. The list could go on.

All of this said, the Bible urges us to seek wisdom above all things.


Proverbs 4:7


To seek Godly wisdom. Be very careful how you live – not as unwise but wise, making the most out of every opportunity.


Ephesians 5:15-16



The wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. God wants us to seek wisdom through the scriptures, making us wise unto salvation. We will trade earthly value for biblical value, preparing ourselves and others for eternity.


2Timothy 3:15-17


Pastor Scott penned, “Never before are we a people drowning in information and opinions while starving for true wisdom.”


Let’s spread the truth.


Until next time, Pam.

Familiar

By Pam Weinreis • 14 Apr, 2024
What is familiar to you? Your children's voice, your spouse, your daily routine, the road you travel? We have many things very familiar to us. Webster defines familiar: common, well known, close association. The word origin from the Latin is, "the family footing."

Loneliness

By Pam Weinreis • 27 Feb, 2024
Nearly one out of three older Americans are lonely, according to a recent study. The study revealed that the biggest shift in loneliness rose among the younger generations. Loneliness is distress caused by a lack of satisfactory relationships, not just being alone.

Life That Is Truly Life

By Pam Weinreis • 10 Feb, 2024
Life That is Truly Life Is our society consumer based? Did you know that only a century ago 90 percent of Americans were farmers? Life was hard, but simpler too. They mostly lived off the land and traded with neighbors whatever else they needed. Money was rarely used. And most of the things they owned fell into the category of needs, not wants. Today only 2 percent of Americans work agriculture. The last century has radically reshaped the American economy. People moved to cities for jobs, where goods were produced. After the wars, politicians and businessmen worked hard to remake the American economy. It was said their goal was to get the simple farmers children to spend their time and money buying up the latest thing. To grow a generation of consumers.

Un-Hurry Your Life

By Pam Weinreis • 27 Jan, 2024
Have you ever considered "boredom" as good for you? Is boredom good for your kids? Do you remember a time when instant access to the internet, YouTube, tic-toc, and/or snapchat wasn't an immediate go to? How about this, waiting at the railroad tracks, waiting in traffic, sitting in a movie theater before the show with nothing for your mind to do but wander, listen, visit or just be quiet?

Thanksgiving

By Pam Weinreis • 24 Nov, 2023
It is the month set aside for thanks. I am struggling, and I still get turned around. Is my dwelling on the past or fretting over the future keeping me from the present? Is my anxiousness masked by anger? Do I discount this moment?

Distracted From Distractions

Are we a people, "distracted from distractions?"

New Birth

By Pam Weinreis • 27 May, 2023
The warmth of the sunshine does something for our souls. It seems to lift the spirit. Signs of spring are slowly showing up. The Little Missouri River’s running out of its banks. Baby calves scatter the hillsides. Green grass begs to grow. Just days before the Holy Week, our eighth grandchild is born.
