So I’ve been THISCLOSE to deleting my blog in recent weeks. Haven’t felt like writing. Feel slightly obligated to write at least weekly to keep some sort of significance and readership.
I am getting tired of social media.
So I joined Twitter.
No, really. I can’t believe I did it either.
I’ve sworn it off at least a hundred times. It’s totally lame. And ego-centric. And no one cares about the meaningless things I do to fill my days. But then I watched a friend get text after text updating her on our friends’ lives…and I felt left out. So I joined. Because who wants to be left out of something that helps people stay connected?
Two days later…and I think I’m actually going to like it. I’m the only person I know around here with Twitter…so I’m either going to be the laughing stock of the church staff, or (as I’d prefer to think) I’m expanding our ministry network one tweet at a time.
Found this diagram today. Thought it was completely appropriate. I’m the victim of ego-centric, stalker-ish narcissism. The first two days have been fun. The long term outlook is yet to be determined.
I LOVE your blog. You write with a lot of variety – - – from deep spiritual thoughts that challenge us all to fun stuff like updates on your dog. What I like about a blog is you don’t have to sift through a lot of trivia. I tried FB and liked it about a week. Then it drove me crazy.
So I’m at a friends house as we speak and we were just hanging out and then she pulls out her computer and brings up twitter and goes on to tell me that she is completely obsessed. And good news, she lives in Colorado ha ha. So you are not completely alone
Lame Twitter will kill you!
Never, I repeat NEVER think about deleting your blog!! I love reading it. It doesn’t matter how often you write. Every post you do is so good. I tried twitter for about 30 seconds and decided I absolutely can’t add one more thing to my life. However, Rick really enjoys it. Fits his ADD nature.
Just keep up your great writing – whenever you have a chance. No guilt! Love you!
