uncontactable

was reflecting a bit on how we sometimes rely on the instant messaging capabilities of our modern world to keep in touch with people the world over.

thanks to the relative convenience by which we bypass the miles, we never place as much emphasis on keeping in touch and we take for granted the distance that separates us.

but there's one place that our friends can go that we can never contact them... and that's the after-life. No email or sms could ever penetrate that. And it's a good reminder that we should never take our friends for granted, nor the time that God has given us with them on this earth.

Also, i'm so thankful that i can eventually meet my christian friends again in heaven. What a comforting thought
