The Deadly Marsh of Communication





I read about the whole twitter debacle this week and the ensueing "chaos" because people lost the ability to send their little messages across the world.

Where are we going? I find it quite a frightening situation, that we cannot live without anything instant anymore.

I also dont think this mass of information that we are bombarded with all the time is healthy.

Naturally, i like anyone else, enjoys all the benifits of email, FB, sms etc, but even before this twitter crash, i was thinking of how much information i am daily exposed to.

There is soooo much that one cannot digest it anymore - its a deluge of information, a mudslide of facts and so called facts. I find i feel like i am being sucked into a muddy mire, unable to move.

And so often, there are so many condradictions one wonders what truth really is?




It brought me to thinking about truth. Everyone claims to have the truth - so what is truth?

One thing i know is that my faith is truth. My foundation is not built on man made "truths" but an inner conviction of knowing that the Word of God, the Bible is truth. Nothing can shake that.




And when i sit and medidate on Gods word, i get peace. Whereas, when i allow myself to be bombarded by the torrents of information, i get agitated, unsettled, restless, my spirit becomes troubled


And the best of all is, i have a hotline!
