Shane Hipps spoke last night to wrap up day one at Q and did a brilliant job. Talking on the “distraction of technology” and how it pulls us from being “present in the moment.” So true. I find myself constantly checking twitter, email, facebook, safari, wordpress, and whatever else I have on my phone the minute I find myself bored or have at least a small window of margin in my time during the day. Is this healthy? Not sure. Does it help in creating true community? Again, not sure. Really wrestling with this. In many ways, we’ve become addicted and controlled by our phones, computers, and clocks. Shane argued last night that this is not healthy, nor is it Biblical. 

Really excited about Shane speaking at Catalyst in October in Atlanta. Get ready to be challenged!
