I have caught myself several times over the past few years saying, “I’m old school.” Most people reply by saying, “that’s ok.” I like paper statements and receipts, mail in the mailbox, telephone calls and verbal conversations. I also like to look at magazines and cookbooks, and I wish I could teach my grandkids long division, because I don’t understand their math. I like to print photos and put them in photo books, wear nylons and listen to the Carpenters! The passing of time lays old ways and ideas to rest while new things and new ideas are being born.
There is another side of ‘old school’ that seems to be slipping away. Truly caring about someone and lending a listening ear or paying someone a visit, (especially your aging mom.) Jesus Christ showed the way to be through His example! Nothing is more important than following Christ and serving others! Technology will continue to advance and bring new ways of doing things but true love and compassion will never, (and should never) change.
Don’t Let a Changing World, Change Those Things That Really Matter!
