I turn my sights on Linkedin, where I’ve been staring at my profile for hours wondering what I should do.
It was easier on the playground, wasn’t it? A round of One Potato Two Potatoes took care of everything.
a simple prayer
I recently had a conversation with friends over a beer or two. It was a delightful afternoon full of laughter and insights. One of the topics that came up was about using social media. My friend said that she often prayed through her news feed, stopping to offer brief prayers even when there was no request for prayers. Especially, she said, when there was no request for prayers.
It got me thinking about how quick I am to repost the silly, wasteful cat memes instead of looking for something a little more edifying. About how quick I am to let loose with my tongue or my pen keyboard instead of thinking before responding. For today, I’m going to make this pretty reminder, which I swiped, naturally, from a social media site, my prayer.
Welcome Mission Conference 2013
Welcome to my humble little blog. I hope you’ll learn quite a bit about how to use social media, maybe dare a little to post on Facebook or Google+ or Twitter if you are beginners, or really push yourselves if you make the leap into blogging.
Whatever you choose, remember one very important thing: be yourself.
If you like gardening, then write about gardening.
If you like music, share what moves you.
I you like books, review your favorites.
You see, we’re all unique and have things to share with others, but we share one great thing in common: we love the Lord. Write about that, too. Not as an apologist, unless you are one, but rather, as a faithful Catholic, living your life and doing the things you do.
Give it a try, share it with your family and friends, and join the online conversation.
What would you write about?
