Sitting at my computer, working my way through the app to light a virtual candle seems like an inventive way to pray and light a candle for whatever is on your mind. And I was kind of looking forward to it in a way.

But then I lit the candle, left the page and promptly forgot about the candle I had “lit” and the prayers that were said. It felt like the hitting the like button on someones post on Facebook. Yes I read it, but I can’t be bothered to write something to you.

Lighting a real candle, it burns in front of you. The smoke rises up like incense, like our prayers to the Lord.

So while I love technology and find my ways of using the web for ministry and evangelism. This one just didn’t work for me.
