Goodbye Twitter
by Pastor T on Oct 22nd in Christian Living, Our Life
Some random thoughts cuz I’m just not in a good place right now.
- I have an addictive personality. I struggle to call it ‘addictive’ cuz I don’t feel like I “need”, but I have a hard time cutting things loose once I start something.
- The line above is, pretty much, the basis of this entire post.
- The first thing I read in the morning, when the kids are off and Elijah is settled, is Twitter.
- I’m usually in a good mood until I sit down and read.
- I’ve tried unfollowing those I find irritating….doesn’t work…..someone will always irritate me….cuz I’m irritable.
- I see the things, in other people, that I hate within myself.
- I see fakes
- I’m a fake!
- I write posts telling you how fake I am, partly, in hopes that the other “fakers” will read and be impacted. Doesn’t happen….That’s part of what makes em fake…..totally unaffected by anything that doesn’t come from THEIR mouths.
- I am angry—-the wife calls me an angry old man.
- Ya’all have seen my videos….that’s not who I am. I am generally a happy-go-lucky kinda guy. Usually in a good mood…..I usually can find the good in all things….I usually can see the bright side…..I usually can turn the negative into something positive.
- Can’t seem to do it anymore and the more negative I see, that I’m unable to fight off, complicates my relationship with God.
- Living in a negative world should drive a Christian to the Word, to dig deep and seek His guidance.
- Doesn’t work like that for me. I let it drive me away…..which brings me back to the first line up there.
- I have a hard time convincing myself it may be time to let go.
- I try to convince myself that I have made meaningful, lasting relationships via Twitter.
- Twitter will make you believe that, but it’s not true.
- There are 600+ people that twitter says “follow” me. LOL I’m guessing 500 of them I have never typed a word to or read a word from.
- Don’t get me wrong…..I HAVE met a few peeps via that network, but the relationships built there are solid ones that I know will continue with or without twitter.
What’s the bottom line? Where am I going? I wish that I had the answers, but I don’t. I hate to say “never” and I don’t intend to now, but for the time being tweetdeck and twittelator are gone. The blogs stay….facebook stays and I’m not going to delete the twitter account. Nor will I remove the twitter feeds, so should I get back into blogging on a regular basis, my posts will auto feed to twitter. So, you say, you’re not cutting loose at all??? Well, it may seem that way, but let’s just say the output from twitter will stop. If you’d like to reach me, there are many ways for you to do that and I trust you know how to make that happen. There is a big ole “contact me” page up top 
. I’ve wasted too much time there and it’s time to get back to bidness. Wanna see lil Eli, Chaya and Gabe videos? Come here for that .
I started this blog as a way to reach people in the name of Christ and as a way to stay connected with friends and family while we’re an ocean apart. I believe reaching people for Christ is a calling and it doesn’t fade away. My family obviously doesn’t fade away. I would like to get back to where I started and like I said in a sermon I preached awhile back….”Eliminate the Distractions”. There are many steps in eliminating all of the distractions in life.
This is a lil update…..disregard the part where I said I wasn’t gonna delete my account. Doing this half way, solves nothing. The account has been deleted. See ya here or on FB .
Buzz it!
