Connected

Are we so connected to technology and or devices that we have become dependent upon them?

Is it hard to put your phone down?

Our connection to technology almost at times seems to be a necessary part of our daily lives. But do we really need to check our phones every few minutes? 

I ask these questions because we have become slaves to our phones, computers and favorite apps. Don't get me wrong it is not all bad, but we need to set limits to how we interact with our devices and take time to interact with those people around us. And I'm guilty of all of the above myself. 

Just try a simple observation - take moments during the day to look at the people around you. What are they doing?

Technology is part of our world, it is not going away and we will always be connected at anytime, but there has to be balance. Take time to talk to those people in your life.   

Time to Speak up

Now is the time to speak up about conservative issues. But as a general rule, conservatives are reserved its just the nature of how we do things. But we need to step out of our comfort zone and talk about things like pro-life, faith, protecting and country and communities, limiting government regulation, secularism, traditional values, protecting the Bill of Rights, marriage between a man and woman. These are in no particular order of importance, but all need to be discussed. So, when topics like these come up, talk about them not out of anger, but in a civil and polite manner, because that is what we do. Now is the time.
