Recent Twitter micro-blog posts on Willimon, Peterson, Hauerwas, Parenting, Obama, TV and Ash Wednesday

Dear People who watch my Blog,

I have been using Twitter since August to write down micro-blog posts.  I have tried to keep them around the theme of church leadership like my blog.  Each “tweet” is only 140 characters.  I try to provide something of value and not just tell you what I had for breakfast.  Anyway, I just thought I would post the last 20 here as a sampler platter. See below.

Twitter user advice: 

You can see my Twitter category for my past thoughts on Twitter.  I used to think it was really narcissistic but I now think it is not that much more narcissistic than writing blogs, doing Facebook, writing articles, writing books and striking up a conversation with someone.  In each case, you have something to say and you hope the interaction might be edifying to someone so you put it out there.
