problems

first, let me officially notify you that our office email is down and has been for almost a week. we still have internet access, but no email is being delivered to or from our office network (except within the network itself). if you need to contact me, temporarily use adamsong22@msn.com for all communication. in fact, it would be helpful for you to cc to my regular lovedtolove.org account just to see when it reopens.

secondly, let me vent for a moment about communication break-down. i'm not specifically mentioning the email issues. they are unto themselves an inconvenience. but, i'm speaking more towards when words fail.
we've known nearly since it's inception that email is not the most reliable form of communication because you can't sense the writer's tone. that even goes back to typed notes and letters. same problem, different era. at least with handwritten letters you could...well...actually...no, it's not always reliable. even God's own Word, the Bible, has so many misinterpretations.
is there a way to improve communication?
yes!
what is it?
God only knows.
for now, my prayer is that people rediscover sincerity. say what you mean and mean what you say. speak love, compassion, generosity and verbalize disappointment, concern and correction.
please offer your stories of how communication improved in your life. i could use the help. (don't forget to send them to adamsong22@msn.com).
