It can be a problem.

Life is busy, and people can struggle to be connected.

Facespace, interweb, ewitter, and lots of other things fill in for a relationship.

Relationships do take effort... and probably do suffer for the modern 'business'.

I am thankful that most of the fellowship that i have with brothers and sisters in the body takes place outside of the few hours 'scripted' into the schedule each week.

My family is in the body... I believe that it should be this way.
