To Amanda Bee's Hive……………………Buzz Away!!

Connection some call it, but how true that in this 21st century, how would life be like without the internet. Just been away for a almost a week without my laptop and internet, i feel so disorganize and disconnected from it all. Thank God I still have my phone but without 3G connection subscription.

Now I am back connected! At this time, I have some spare time during this 1 week holiday to read on some articles and blogs which is something I enjoy but have got no time to do so during my busy, hectic working and personal life. I came across a few blogs of individuals whom i know personally or related to an individual i know, which so happen are all Christians. It makes me ponder how God’s word works, and how individual experiences inspire others and now even through social media, which somewhat centralizes almost everyone’s connection.

Although i do not consider myself a social media addict but i am a heavy user of social media networking tools, such as Facebook and Twitter, therefore I get most of my updates from there, both personal and related news of the people i follow. I came across this link that was shared through Twitter, where he was sharing his talk given to pastors from various churches how they could use these social media tools to help grow their ministry. Like business, you sometimes need to go with the flow in technology, to improvise, be willing to change and adapt to the new terms and technology used also be aware of the soon to come of what lies ahead in the near future. So the same goes when comes to saving souls, just be very careful not get hooked and addicted to these tools You can checkout his particular blog post here Pastors, Social Media and boring slides

Here are also some of the videos he shared which are quite similar to some social media talks i’ve been to:-

Did you know?

Twouble with Twitter

This is a funny cartoonish video, of how addicts don’t have friends but is not entirely true but i believe there are people who lives only in the virtual world. As most of us spend an average of 10-12 hours at work, there’s not much time left to meet up and socialize, so with these tools, we can then keep ourselves updated on our friend’s lives.

Another blog to highlight is a friend’s fiance which my friend is no longer on this earth, but back with the Lord. He is a friend whom i met some 10 years ago at a Residential Bible School which we spent 4 weeks up in Cameron Highlands discovering ourselves and God, share and learn from each other. Though I am not very close to him, as he is more of a quiet type. He just got engaged for 2 weeks before he fell ill, this is the first blog which i read and i could empathize the feeling of his fiance, and cause my teardrops from my eyes. I could not imagine if I could take up the challenge if I would be the one to face this scenario. Checkout Friday Wake Service and Today is not any other day.
