“If I pick up my smartphone and I develop a relationship with people I’ll never meet — influencers and celebrities — by watching videos, that diminishes me. But if I pick up my smartphone and I call my daughter or FaceTime her, that activates love and relationship. Basically, it’s using the thing to more deeply engage with the world rather than to retreat from my investment in the world.”
The beautiful thing in some ways about the smartphone, for example, is that my robotic vacuum will never do anything but vacuum instead of me. But my smartphone can be an instrument in that I can decide every time I pick it up whether I’m going to use it in a way that actually develops my heart, soul, mind and strength that is subordinate to and for the purposes of love.

Michigan Convert
I recently moved to the town of New Buffalo, MI in the lower left hand corner of ‘the Mitten’ as Michiganders like to call it. If you like these pictures, you might like to follow that account as well. Most of the images are taken with my trusty Mavic Mini 2 drone which is a source of constant delight to me…
Not familiar with New Buffalo? Maybe the map will help…
Wouldn’t it be nice?
Wouldn’t it be nice if we were older?
Then we wouldn’t have to wait so long
And wouldn’t it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong?
You know it’s gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new?
After having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through
But happy times together we’ve been spending
I wish that every kiss was never-ending
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice?
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray, it might come true…
