At one time you would pick up the phone, dial a number, and talk for 15 or 20 minutes to find out how your family and friends were doing.

Wait a few minutes and you might discover they’ve “checked in” at a local restaurant.
Sometimes there is more information than you want to know about someone, plus pictures or video.
I could be friends with all 500 million and that can’t compare to the One Face I desire to see – Jesus!
