140 Characters or Less

"There are fewer and fewer oases of silence in our noisy world. Communication has higher value for us than contemplation. Information is in greater demand than reflection" -Barbara Brown Taylor
I once reflected on many things and wrote lengthy and somewhat boring blogs. Lately I've noticed that I tend to only read things summed up in a short paragraph or two. I also think of my thoughts, "If it can't be said in 140 characters of less it is not worth saying. I've become a product of the texting and facebooking generation.
I think there is something to be said about few words and silence. Times to be quiet and hear what God is trying to say to us. Times to listen to others instead of worrying about what I have to say myself.
