You don't realize how much your image of that person is based on stereotypes, or other people you have known. The first time I met someone who was quite different than my mental picture of them really brought that fact home to me. That's what made me convinced that when I met my husband online, we had to meet and spend time together as soon as possible.

Then there was the whole Bible talk thing, and having to get back to work. It is good to meet people who you know online though. Two of our best friends met online, now they are married with a couple of kids! We probably would have said more except Jen rang me back, and I like to always grab those calls ‘just-in-case’.

But I think a bigger problem in the realm of email and blogging (particularly in comments) is the lack of the constraints you normally feel in verbal communication. In the world of internet, the consequences of your words are not as immediately obvious. People tend to write things that they would never say in person. I think this is partly because of the ability to be anonymous on the internet. But even if you do identify yourself, you are removed from the impact of your statement. So I think as Christians it is really important to be conscious of the impact that your words can have and choose them carefully. To remember to be kind to others even though you can't see them.

I try not to use sarcasm. I usually think before I post a comment, and rewrite it a few times, but today, I am deleting everywhere - but it's not because of what I've been writing - more because I feel vulnerable! I have been praying a lot of late that God would fix up my thoughts - because I can't seem to be able to! I do try not to dwell on them - but meditate on God's word instead - or concentrate on looking after the boys. Yeah – I’ve noticed you use a lot of ‘emoticons’ (?). I try not to use sarcasm.
