Would an economy of words this year provide any balance to the excess? I value quiet time to think. On the other hand, folks need
more meaningful dialogue and real conversation. You've probably seen a group of close friends ... not talking, just looking down at their smartphones.
I
often face a dearth of words to write ... thank-you notes and letters,
for example. However, some think I write too much and labor too little.
So I
see both excess and shortage. What's new under the sun? (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
