The Value of Twitter

When I first heard about Twitter, I thought it was the most ridiculous idea I'd ever heard. "Who would be that interested in what someone is doing every minute of the day?" I asked. I imagined posts like, "Sitting on the couch, watching TV" and "Heading to the grocery store now." Who cares?

Little did I know the impact it would have on me! 1566 tweets later I've come to realize the incredible worth and value of Twitter in my life. I've been mentored (through tweets) by great Christian leaders like @AndyStanley, @RickWarren, @perrynoble, @MarkBatterson, @stevenfurtick, @chuckswindoll, @BethMooreLPM, @craiggroeschel, @DerwinLGray, @MattChandler74, @greglaurie, @edstetzer, @jonathanfalwell, @JohnCMaxwell, @MaxLucado, @PastorMark (Mark Driscoll) and about 150 other leaders who have great insights into the Church and our culture.

All day long, I receive mentoring, encouragement and ideas from those who have blazed the trail before me and those who are blazing the trail with me via messages that are 160 characters or less. Thank you Twitter!
