I concur with Jen's viewpoint that a distinction exists between the level of intimacy experienced online versus in-person. Even individuals, irrespective of gender, who connect on the internet with the intention of establishing a romantic relationship eventually reach a juncture where they desire to elevate their connection, leading to the arrangement of a deliberate encounter.

I have been contemplating the implications of solely engaging with scripture versus experiencing the mystery of a personal connection with figures such as the apostle Paul. Perhaps, the significance does not lie solely in understanding the essence of Paul, but rather in emphasizing the importance of communing directly with him. Could it be possible that the anonymous nature of the author of Hebrews serves as a deliberate statement, urging us to prioritize our focus on Christ rather than fixating on the identity of the author? Therefore, the true encouragement lies in recognizing that these individuals, despite their human limitations, remained steadfast until the end.

Furthermore, there exists the aspiration of eventually encountering esteemed saints within the realm of heaven. It is important to acknowledge that we, as individuals, will continue to develop our understanding and wisdom alongside Christ for all of eternity, fully embracing our humanity. Consequently, this element of our human nature will persist in our state of bliss, bringing us profound contentment.

We exist within our own world, interacting with our local churches and the individuals we encounter on a regular basis. In these tangible relationships, there is a sense of satisfaction that comes from giving oneself. While the internet may provide a platform for expressing oneself authentically, it only partially fulfills certain needs. Despite this, I am fatigued and unwell.
