It is a very different world than I left in the 1st Century. We did everything face to face. Well, we did write letters, but even that was a bit unusual and not very wide spread.
I came across a blog about facebook and face-to-face friendships. Very interesting reading. Even the telephone was a major move away from face-to-face communication. Now, the internet allows anyone to be in contact (friends?) with hundreds and even thousands of people.
The blog concluded that, even with the huge numbers of people that you keep track of online these days, people still really are close friends with only about four to seven bosom buddies and that is true in most cultures the world over.
Friends in time of need; helping you in the hard times. Sometimes people don't have the kind of help they need. That's where Wheat Ridge comes in, supporting some great ministries all over the world who are the 'friend' that people may need. Ministries like the Helping Hands Free Clinic in Columbus, OH.
