God Moment - Courtney Umphlett - March 26, 2020
I have often heard it said that God takes the bad and turns it into good. Although I use to think technology had some benefits, I honestly saw it has something pushing us apart and distracting us. Who knew that would be used by God to bring us together during this time. On Sunday, churches around the world live streamed their services. In our home, we were able to participate in our church’s service but also “visit” a church that was just started by some friends of ours. Humans are stepping up at a surprising rate to bring life and joy to people through technology. Cc and I love to dance and it hasn’t had to stop. Yesterday, I did a Zumba class with others live online and the American Ballet Theater has offered free live classes for kids under 5. Companies are offering subscriptions to their online platforms to continue education. Bible studies are meeting online via Zoom. And every day there is more good coming from technology to keep us together during a time when we must stay apart. It has been incredible to see how God has used something we worried would pull us apart to bring us together as a human race.
