U Matters - January 30, 2014

by Greg Anderson on January 30, 2014

I was walking along the Peak Tram path as the tram passed me by. I noticed there were more people staring down at their phones than viewing the spectacular HK skyline. What does that say about social media?

It is so easy to miss the moment because we are distracted with other things. I love Chinese New Year and the free time it brings. My prayer is that I will connect (not just virtually) but actually with family and friends and use the time to pray and ponder what is most important for us as we follow Christ. Kung hei fat choy!

He collects and even reads books, watches baseball on the internet, and thanks God daily for the opportunity to serve with such an amazing congregation.
