This is the first in a series of posts you’ll see on some of
the more practical matters. Several family and friends have asked how we can
communicate after I enter.
First off, I will NOT have a cell phone. Period. The first
three years of formation are an intense time of spiritual, human, and
intellectual growth. It works better when there aren’t a lot of distractions.
So, no, you can’t call me directly.
But letters are more than welcome! You remember those
things, right? The paper folded up and sealed in an envelope that you have to
close by licking that nasty adhesive, and then you write on the front of the
envelope and stick a stamp on it and drop it in the mailbox?
Email is also acceptable. But, as I said, I won’t have a
cell phone. Which means neither will I have a smartphone. Which means I
actually have to sit down at a computer to check my email. So in those scattered
moments when I do have time to check my email, I would be more than happy to
find some personal notes in among the spam!
Facebook is also an option, though, see the previous
paragraph about the lack of a smartphone and scattered moments to check in.
(And, sorry, but this blog will probably go on hiatus again, too.)
