Can We Just Talk?

By angelcasiano in Personal and Small Notes From Angel's Desk on 12/11/201412/11/2014

Don’t you miss the times when people actually talk to each other over a cup of coffee, maybe some tea or juice? They actually pay complete attention to each other.

Now people talk to each holding a phone, while searching the net or texting somebody else. Even worst, you see them across the table from each other, each holding the phone and zero communication amongst themselves.

So many ways of instant communication surely has increased our communication’s quantity, but our quality… well, that’s a different story.

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate technology, but I despise what is doing to us. I actually miss the days when people actually did nothing, but talk to each other. I guess those were the good all days!

An independent thinker with a profound call to see the orthodoxy of the church and passion for Christ manifesting together. Angel was born in Brooklyn, New York in April of 1968, he was raised on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico where he earned his B.S. degree in Sociology with a minor in Education from the Inter American University in San Germán in 1991. That same year he moved to Jacksonville, Florida. After working construction jobs for a year and learning the English language, his first job working with foster-care children in the capacity of youth care worker was with Jacksonville Youth Sanctuary in September of 1992. With JYS he was promoted several times as group home supervisor, legal caseworker, and program director. While in Jacksonville, Angel studied a couple of martial arts styles. After earning his black belt, he became the founder of Good Fight Ministries as he used martial arts as an instrument to preach the gospel. In 2004 Angel was selected Martial Arts Instructor of the Year for the State of Florida and in 2005 Angel was inducted in the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame where he also received the Christian Spirit Award. In July of 2005 Angel accepted his call to pastor a bilingual church in Winton, NC where he served for a couple of years. Five months later he lost his first wife to cancer in December of that same year. This initiated a deep valley of suffering in his life, a mountain of costly mistakes and the embracing of lifestyles of sin that are well documented through this blog. In August of 2012 Angel moved to Fairbanks Alaska with his wife Rayette Casiano and six children who are now adults. In Alaska, Angel continued his social work-related career and his ministry of preaching, teaching and writing. Angel is the author of two books, Hope for the divorcee: Forgiving and Moving Forward and 7 Banderas de Esperanza: La Bendición de Yokdzonot. In January 8th of 2020 Angel and his wife moved to Arizona. On June 8th 2021 Angel started his home church, not as a starting point, but as a closer way to how the church is suppose to look like according to Scripture. View all posts by angelcasiano

Its because everyone is worried about everyone else and what their doing, its ruining relationship, people are conversating about other people business, correction judging other peoples lives from a pic or a post ,its sad to me because nobody really has intellectual conversations anymore, this is how I get my intellectual conversations by reading your post brother, this is a big issue in everybodys home, technology is what it is but it should not consume your life.
