Connections

Was listing to several authors on the radio as I ran errands this morning talking about the nature of social networks. They were claiming that even our moods are contagious in the networks and that implies we humans have a herd mentality. I find it is interesting that we keep coming to some thing that God has shown us starting 3000 years ago.

There is a reason he made Moses a shepherd before he let him lead the children of Isreal to the promised land. When Isreal cried for a king, to replace the Judges of Isreal, God choice first Saul then David both of whom had experence as herds men. The Lord Jesus himself told us that people where like sheep without a shepherd.

If we do not recognize that we, ourselves individually, are indeed 'sheeple' we can not grow beyond conformity to our peers. If we don't have God in our life then we and our networks will not have what is truly needed to fix our social ills.
