Texting God

Interesting topic, right? Well, I think that it's a valid idea. 

In my (and “our” for those that are my peers) generation, a large part of our daily lives is staying in touch. Not just with ourselves (which in of itself is an important idea), but with others. How do many of us do that? One way that we communicate is through texting, tweeting, and other various Facebook-related tasks that return information to us quickly.

To add to this, if we need to have a deeper, one on one conversation with whomever we are trying to communicate, we then call them, email them, or send an otherwise more detailed message.

Through these two conversations, the short and the long, we build relationships. We relate to the other person and begin to understand them and what they think about whatever the heck it is you may be doing in a deeper and more clarified way. Through this, we construct and strengthen bonds with others.

We can talk to God in the same way. I would propose that we could have little mini-conversations with him throughout the day. For instance, you're driving down the road, notice that it is a particularly beautiful day, and you send him a quick message, “Thank you.” (you can even hit the “quick text” function on your phone). Through this, we can learn to never end a prayer. Your whole day could become one continuous conversation with Him.

Text God.

However, keep in mind that this doesn't eliminate the importance of having in depth conversations and devotionals with Him, we should just add unlimited texting to our plans.
