Hm. This is chock full, girl. When we lived in Tulsa for three years, Kurt started casting about for a job closer to PA. God closed some doors, HARD. Then I had to come to grips with the fact that I live HERE, not there. So I reached out, I made friends, I got involved. Now, this is my home. It would difficult to leave. 

But I don't necessarily thing that online technologies are to blame for the erosion of community. Yes, now we can give online to vastly different places, but it no  different than my grandfather mailing in his tithe check because he didn't go to the building. In fact, I think one of the benefits of Twitter that I was thinking about today is that I have discovered whole new aspects of the community around me through that medium. I think community is where you look for it and strive to make it. 

Then again....
