I like your books "God's Eye View" !

Number one-- I think that it is disrespectful to the person ministering and most of all I think that it is not showing reverence to what is taking place in the house. However, if there is nothing worth listening to that's coming from the pulpit or if the church is more social oriented then, there is no loss if you tweet, talk on the phone, text msg., do homework, office work, do your nails etc.!!!! There's probley not much spiritual going to take place anyway. Just saying, what has happened to mere respect for the House of God and why we are instructed to come together> BTW, I already know and understand that we are the temple!! And, no, I am not religious and out of connection with technology. I love and use it all, but at the appropriate time and place.

IMHO. my five cents of thoughts…

Most people are not tweeting the sermon though. Maybe I will suggest it. I never thought about this. Most people are not tweeting the sermon though. Maybe I will suggest it.
