The Beginning of the End, of the Beginning, I think...

This week has been one of those interesting weeks where nothing is as it seems, yet delivers as advertised. I began a few days ago the fall into the pit that is Twitter. I have always been something of a holdout when it comes to this whole social networking thing. I have let MySpace fall to the wayside, (I don't think I have even logged in in over a year!) and I had always been somewhat reluctant to stay up to date with Facebook. But as with both MySpace and Facebook I felt that to truly understand the draw of these sites I had to at least give it a shot...

What a Wonderful Mistake! Not only have I been able to have conversations with both Derek Webb and Josh Moore of Caedmon's Call, but I have been able to connect with a couple of people I had lost contact with.

To make matters worse I have been able to link my Twitter account to Facebook to allow all of my Friends the wonders of my existance as I see fit to relay it.

My Crackberry allows me to use an application called Twitterberry, to update my Tweets. I also have a Facebook App to keep up with status updates as well.

The question is, what have I learned? In an age where technology has connected us in a way that is closer than any culture before it, we are farther apart. We have replaced REAL conversations with "What are you doing?" We have replaced fellowship with tweets. We have replaced our time with God with the insatiable thirst for what everyone else is doing, instead of looking at what our heart is needing.

I have looked at a lot of things introspectively and have found that I am no better than anyone else, I get wrapped up in the latest thing. I hope to use this blog as a way to form my thoughts, write what I am feeling and challenge anyone who reads it to walk the strange road with me. I may talk about religion, I will most definately talk about technology, but most of all I will talk about what I feel strongest about. I invite all to dialog with me in an intelligent way, take nothing overly seriously, but ponder it wisely.

But most of all, ENJOY!
