Tonight, I cooked about 5 pounds worth of pasta.
Then, I invited anyone that I could possibly grab ahold of.
Soon, my tiny apartment was filled with people. I kept having to wash plates as soon as people were finished so that others could eat and people shared silverware.
So much laughter and joy danced around as stomachs were filled and college students finally had a satisfying meal.
Later, as I sat in my now empty apartment as dirty dishes overflowed the sink, I rejoiced.
No matter how hilarious a movie or TV show may be, it could never compare to the amount of laughter that came from simply having conversations with people.
Community was built tonight. Not just friendships or connections, but unity.
All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.--Acts 2:44-47
Moments like these help me to remember that the greatest things that God has given us are what can never be duplicated or experienced on TV.

You're amazing. I quite agree with you-- my life this summer was rarely graced by Internet and thus my computer sat unused for weeks on end. I read books, played outside, and enjoyed life to the fullest! The only problem was that I was so far from y'all. ;)
