Day two in Texas has been a long but productive one.  Anglican 1000 is a great resource and it is also very technology-driven.  But being 50, I am clearly “techno-savvy” and wanted to prove so with my ability to post on Twitter like all those young people.

And so I did.  I tried to take pictures and post and I felt I was doing pretty well.  But being a bit of a joker, I took a picture of the Archdeacon and two other priests that I thought made them look a little sleepy.  It was going to be a TWITPIC, which I want to be clear is actually what they call pictures you put on Twitter and not in any way a criticism or description of the guys.  So I posted it with the caption “The future of the Church????”  And I was quite pleased as I thought it was funny.  I copied it to Facebook too.

But soon I was getting all these messages about my post with pretty serious answers to the question I posed, which of course I meant to be a caption.  They were quite deep and well thought out, and I knew something was wrong……..yep, I sent the caption, but not the picture.

But for a short time I suppose I felt proud that I at least looked thought provoking.  And, in all honesty, the responses gave me something to think about.  It was an additional blessing I did not expect and one that I will gladly take.

But the question now is just what I do with the picture.  We will see, but a good picture is a terrible thing to waste.

Goodnight Y’all and God Bless from Texas.
