Twitter De, Twitter Dumb!

I don’t tweet. I surf, google, text, cell and facebook, but I don’t tweet. A guy has to draw the line somewhere. So I don’t tweet – at least not yet. According to their web site, Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected (tweet) through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? The face of communication has changed. Face-to-face conversation is fast becoming a lost art. At a baseball game recently I saw two teenagers sitting next to each other sending text messages back and forth and laughing together. Thanks to the latest means of communication I now know what friends are doing across the world: what they are having for dinner, what time they are going to bed, what they scored on some internet game, and what the names of their newest friends are. We talk less, but know more. So is there a word from God for this technological generation? How about, “Let your speech (tweet, text, facebook) be with grace, seasoned with salt” (Col. 4:6). I’ve already deleted a few facebook friends who refused to abide by these words. Hi tech communication? Yes! Hi tech seasoning? Please!

Join me in communicating with the Father the following global concerns:
• Pray for Lynn in Mexico City as he recovers from surgery.
• Pray for Mary as she takes Russian exams this week.
• Pray for missionaries in Germany who have scheduled a Kaffee and Kuchen (coffee and cake) Day on May 23. They have invited 15 households to their home on that day.
• Pray for seminary students serving in Zambia this week.
• Pray for teams from Texas who will be ministering at the Taiwan Sports University, Taichung, Taiwan this week.
