Looking at all the comments, I identify with many.

Visit a neighbor, unannounced. If he is busy, help with whatever he is doing, for example.

And I agree that internet and social media is substituting for face-face communication. Some younger folks can’t have a conversation.

Now, on a side note, the internet, texting, social media, etc. elicits quick responses. People get frustrated with just a little impatience.

And Jesus encourages us to be patient. Wait on God. Stop forcing the issue personally.

My conclusion is that the modern communication system is taking people away from developing that patience, and away from knowing God and His methods.

It also renders us more careless, with more idle words and effects to be held accountable for.
