Am I Losing Touch?

January12

I am at a complete loss as to how to feel about the fact there is a website out there devoted to tips on how to Twitter more effectively.

When I was invited to Twitter by some much more “happening” friends of mine several months ago, I completely dismissed the idea, because Twitter? Seriously? Have we reached some kind of pandemic, pathological desire to share our every waking action with everyone we know and many we don’t? I was confident that my Facebook account and a blog was about all I needed to be plugged in these days.

I should have known I’d missed some kind of boat when an elder at my church suggested Twitter might be an effective tool to publicize our events. I finally signed up for an account to research the possibilities, but it really still seemed pointless to me.

After seeing TwiTip, though, I think I might have to admit I was far too quick to dismiss the power of the tweet.

Who knew?

    You know….I have the whole “Twitter” thing set up and for whatever reason…I get no “updates” on my phone…whereby I did a few months ago. It’s weird….I feel like I’m just talking to cyberspace all alone…not sure if anyone hears me because I don’t hear anyone else…..even though I can check and see that they’re updating.

    And yeah….I talk too much…sometimes.

I’m here because I’m lonely. I’m here because people who are lonely in the same way I am lonely have a very hard time finding each other. .

Being hearing impaired / deaf is lonely.
Having bipolar disorder is lonely.
Being an undergraduate student in your mid-thirties is lonely.
Being a Biblical Studies major is lonely.
Being infertile is lonely.

And even though it shouldn’t be, being desperately in love with God is sometimes the loneliest feeling there is.

So there it is. I’m dropping any attempt to be slick or intellectual or one of the cool kids. I’m just here to share the things I struggle with, the things I’m trying to understand and the things I am learning.
