Young People and Twitter
So you think that young people don't use twitter, and they only use facebook? Well then explain this.
I guess people really do care about the Jonas Brothers and their dog turning one. And from this, you can sense that young people are switching to Twitter.
Is this a shock? Is it not a big deal? What do you think?
People
I'm sure a lot of you own many things that keep you entertained for many hours on end, such as an iPod, an xbox 360, a tv, a computer, or a cell phone. I have been kept alive and in zombie mode by many, if not all, of these forms of entertainment at one point in my lifetime. These all share a similarity between you and I.
Tonight had something to do with these objects, only indirectly. You see, I went to dinner with a couple of friends from church to celebrate something called a birthday for one of them. While we were waiting for our seats, I got a chance to hold the door for many folks and spark a conversation with the hostess, who seemed to be busy for some odd reason, but then again, it was 7:00 PM on a saturday night at a local restaurant. While I was sitting there talking to her, I came to realize, yet again, in life, is that
people matter.
And especially their eternity. As I was carrying on a conversation with this nice hostess, my cell phone rang with a text from a friend encouraging me in a "manly" way. I didn't use my voice, instead I used my fingers to communicate with this person my deep thankfulness for his encouragement. So, what does the hostess at this local restaurant or text from a friend have to do with your computer or iPod?
These objects are people focused.
I invite you to think on this and realize that everything you use and do somehow impacts someone other than yourself. Last time I checked, life is not about having the best computer, driving the coolest car, or even hanging out with the most appealing people.
It's about loving people who deserve to be loved as much as Jesus loves His bride, the Church.
When you use these objects that drown you in a digital sea, remember the sole purpose of the object: to fulfill the desires of the person using it. Christ has fulfilled the desires of mankind by allowing mankind redemption for his sin and a relationship with Christ himself. He loves you, and he loves your hostess who helps to get you a table for dinner on the weekend.
Jesus loved, loves, and will love forever. Will you?
