You might be aware that I’m not a Christian. I am a little more old school when it comes to my religious belief. I’m happy with that. But I live in a world where most of my friends are Christian. I am well aware of what that means, because I spend a lot of time in Church. I maintain the computer systems and networks for three different Churches. Their Pastors are my good friends. We talk a lot.
Being old school, means I’m pretty set in my ways. My beliefs are strong. I consider myself very spiritual. I believe strongly in prayer. I believe in the Old Testament. I am a believer. I believe that Twitter has a purpose, and we are seeing it unfold in real time. So what is the purpose of me having over 1,000 Twitterbuds in less than two months? What is the purpose of my closest Twitterbuds being (what I consider IMHO) the “good core people” in the Twitterverse? Out of the many thousands of Twitterers, why was Ashley Spenser, aka @ashPEAmama my Twitterbud? What about Susan Reynolds and Preppy Dude? Why did we become Twitterbuds so quickly?
I was told as a child, that I needed to write. It is one of the things I supposedly do best. I was never really motivated to do so, until I found an easy way… in 140 characters or less. So here I am, making friends fast and doing what I was probably created to do. I have found a new purpose, which I believe I shall use for good.
I hardly new my Twitterpal Ashley, but I miss her. I hardly know Susan Reynolds or Preppy Dude Duane, but we have a true friendship and I never want to miss them.
Sure, I make every effort to entertain when I tweet. I also occasionally attempt to make an intelligent point. Rest in peace, Ash. That’s all.
