Gods Walking Club

Its funny how we all have a deep seeded need for proximity.  There is a vast difference in reading a book on a couch by your self, or reading one with someone next to you... be it a sibling, a spouse, or a friend...you don't event have to be reading WITH them... just next to you. In proximity to you.  Feeling thier warmth and hearing their breath.
.
God knows about this.  He built us this way, because He IS that way.  He started the first walking club... with Adam and Eve in the Garden, every morning. He didn't have to... He is God and He is everywhere... He could have shown up as a giant floating head if He wanted to... He could see them at all times.  So why would He walk with them every morning?  Because he wants face time.  He wants relationship. 
.
That does not happen over the phone, or over the Internet, or in a text message...it face to face.  Sure those things are useful tools and can help us connect, but it is not a replacement.   So put your computer, your mobile, and your ipod down and be with some one... be it a friend, loved one, child or spouse (and chiefly, your maker)... just connect...its what God did with the first two of us...
