Dear Jeff  ,
This review is a part of "I Write in 2024"  [13+]. 
Overall Impression:
This essay is an interesting response to "Share Your Faith" [13+]'s February prompt. Considering I set that prompt, I all the more enjoyed reading your take on it. And I was impressed. You have clearly spent time considering the effects of technology on faith and religious community and, in turn, gave me food for thought. I even learned a thing or two.
I wasn't aware of the church management software, and the various apps available. I agree with your concerns that technology can lessen the benefits of being a part of a faith-based community by making it increasingly easy to participate without actual human contact. I also agree that cell phones can help us access handy tools that can improve our day-to-day lives but, at the same time, they can distract us and stop us from being in the moment.
The prayer app sounds interesting, as does the daily goal/habit tracker. The habit tracker reminds me of "Habit Heroes " [13+], a community I participate in, where we encourage the other to achieve our goals and build positive habits. You are very welcome to join us.
It is true that there is the risk of doing something to check that box, rather than have that full quality of the experience. That's life, I suppose. Some days it may be performative; other days we experience the full benefits. The building of good habits is beneficial overall - we just have to try to establish and maintain that balance.
As you can see, you have made me think. I like that. You have done an excellent job with this piece.
Suggestions:
I have no suggestions, dear Jeff. Not helpful, I know, but I could find no spelling errors, no messy grammar, and everything is clear and well-considered. As said, excellent work!
My Rating:
This is an impressive response to a contest prompt. I enjoyed the read.
I had no suggestions. Everything was clear and balanced. I will give this item the 5 out of 5 it deserves.
Thank you for sharing your work.
Write on!
Kit
