I have a lot to tell you. 

I don't want to use paper and ink, but I hope to visit you and talk with you face-to-face, so that our joy can be complete.  

2 John 1:12 CEB

2,000yrs ago John appreciated written communication, yet knew that face-to-face is better.

I wonder what he would make of our modern communication mediums...

Let's not lose the joy of face-to-face, kahoni te kahoni. 

It's sharing words, and more.

It's being in the same space, and more.

It's communicating ideas, thoughts, experiences, needs, and more.

We are spiritual, emotional, physical, emotional creatures, and to commune, to connect fully, deeply, all of us needs to be engaged, and as good as letters are, as good as our screens are, those mechanisms miss something.

(And yes sometimes they are the only available or safe way to communicate).

How can we choose face-to-face a little more today?

What makes me hesitate, hold back from face-to-face?

What potential joy am I missing?
