Tweeting Away

For the first time i tweeted. Now I like to think of myself as fairly hip, with a decent grasp on what is popular but Twitter was something that I had not dabbled in. I was watching the MLB All Star game and they encouraged the viewers to tweet with the "hashtag" #asg. It was incredible how many users were a part of this discussion. The "tweets" were coming in so fast it was impossible to keep up. People from all over the country, maybe even the world, sharing a common language, this evening it was baseball.

As people of faith we have a common language, the question is are we using it? When it comes to church, God, the Bible, Jesus, etc we all speak the same language, we may differ on some things, but for the most part it is the same language and the core of our conversation shares a ton in common. Are you a part of the conversation? When we use our language, when we come together, when we are a part of the conversation incredible things happen but we have to be a part of the conversation, we have to talk.

I will admit, tweeting was fun and I can see how it can become addictive but what was even more fun was being a part of something where we all shared a common interest, it was fun being a part of something. We are a part of something, we are a part of the body of Christ. Now, join the discussion.

PS - It also made a boring game interesting.
