TAke time out.

So I've been doing some thinking lately. I have written once or twice about the evolution of the cell phone, but something crossed my mind. We tend to let pass us by so fast because of this little device. We go to our phone stores looking for the coolest phone: One with cameras, all types of organizing devices, internet..you name it; that's what catches our eye. Then we buy these things and we go to class or church, or a meeting. Then when we are at these functions we are either texting or stepping out to take calls. Or maybe you're with a loved on.... When we step out of class the first thing we do is check our missed calls and messages...and on the way to class we are returning these messages. I say we because I have done a few of these things and will not be called a hypocrite. We always wonder why we may have done bad on a test or we are dragging behind in school, or extra-curricular activities and we don't have time. Sometimes we are to occupied with the cell phone to be with our loved ones. So why can't we do things differently? Why can't we turn our phones off for 10 mins? Leave them behind in our rooms or something? Life is too short and we occupy most of our time by staying on the phone. When you're with a loved one...turn your phone off, put it down...have a great conversation with that person! When your in class put that bad boy on silent...not vibrate or put it up until the class is over. Like I said yes, I have done many of these things as well, but its just something to note because of what I see on campus 90% of the people are doing what I have stated. So I will work on these things....maybe you all can give it a try to.....Lets go back to the basics...
