Todays WordPress question was “Do we remember life before the internet”. I am old enough to say yes, but I have to admit only vaguely.

The main thing that comes to mind is doing studies before the internet. You had to go to a library and use books lol! I can remember getting an assignment for Bible college and then rushing to the library to get the best books.

The other things about times before the internet is actually going to see people to ask questions, to pay bills or to stay in contact with them. These days we can do all this online and we can do it from our couch.

So do I prefer life now with the internet or then without it? I guess both have there positives or negatives, but I have to say I enjoy the connection to people and information the internet gives us today.

How about you? Do you remember life before the internet? And if you do, which do you prefer?

Today’s WordPress question is about being involved in the community. This is a simple one to answer for me – I go to church.

Some people might not consider going to church as being involved in the community. But in a small country town it is. You get to know people of all different ages, backgrounds and nationalities, you get to share lives and you hear of needs in the community.

In a small country town churches are often involved in the community projects. There is always something going on. Our churches have food parcel help, help with free furniture, run youth groups and we have an overnight shelter. These are just some of the things we can help with.

So for me getting involved in my community starts with church. If I moved to a small country town again I would start by visiting the local churches.

The WordPress question of the day was a nice easy one. Five everyday things that make me happy.

1. Saturday morning coffee with my wife

2. Working out alone in my gym

3. Spending time with our daughters

4. Going for a stroll on our bush trails

5. Watching tv series with my wife
