God, this is good.

Imagine working a really long hard day. Then imagine coming home to a gigantic glass of red wine and the best slice of pizza you ever had. The title of this post is supposed to be said out loud as if you are living in that moment. Sounding more like, "Gaahd, this is goood".

This moment I experienced while spending time with my family in Butler, New Jersey over easter. I was sitting in the backyard of my aunts house listening to my Mom retell a John Piper sermon to my brother, cousin, and step Dad. The air smelled sweet of Bradford Pear trees and Cherry Blossoms while the night was heavy with warmth. I watched my dog jump around the yard in freedom; celebrating being off his leash and out of the city of Philadelphia.

As I got a sudden need for a change of pace I walked back into my Aunts house to join in the conversation she and my brothers girlfriend Katie were having. As I sat there listening in on their conversation about the Lord and our lives as women I suddenly had the feeling of comfort and love. I walked away from a conversation about how amazing the Lord is into a conversation about how amazing the Lord is. The slow steady thought of how blessed I am by a family that seriously loves the Lord enclosed around me. I relished in the moment and let out a sigh of peace as I heard my heart say, "God, this is good."  

I'd Twat that.

Yes. That is my new pun I made up. It is based off of anyone I have ever found attractive that I would consider either cyber stalking through Facebook or Twitter. Kidding of course. (For those who don't know me and just read that...I'm sorry I make it so easy to judge me ;)

Actually this post is about how obnoxious our world has become in communicating with each other. So much so that when we pick up the phone or meet in person it feels so old school....but why at the same time do I love it?

I love the fact that I can be sitting in my bed on facebook and a facebook chat will pop up from my life long friend Ben in Ghana, Africa. I haven't seen him in three years and talking on the phone is way too expensive but through facebook it's free. He is studying at school and has free use of the computer...its amazing.

What I do not like though is not hearing about a get together with friends while I'm hanging out with those friends in person because one of my "friends" facebooked it to me. So meanwhile a week later after that hangout, I'm at home by myself wondering what all my friends are doing and they're all out at an awesome new jazz club because they decided to click attending. Awesome. Not an actual event that I'm passively aggressively posting about BUT lets be honest...its totally happened to us before!

But I do love that on Twitter I can Tweet something about a celebrity or well known icon and they can tweet me back. Which practically means I just had a conversation with John Quinones from ABC right! It is a cyber tie that is bringing the lower class into communication with royalty ;)

I rarely go on Twitter and the only reason I even got a Twitter was to follow the whole 'Rob Bell' topic. All of the interesting point of views were being talked about on Twitter and I was irritated I couldn't just read about it in a normal paper. SO I caved and made a Twitter account.

I do think a lot but I don't often find that I have 140 characters of something that I desperately need the world to hear. Most of the time I just use Twitter to tell the world I put up a new blog post...like this one. Its on my Twitter. Right now. Which brings up a new question. Is the past tense of Tweeting something Twat? Because lets be honest, using that in a sentence regularly would be awesome!

So thats it. All I really wanted to do is write something based off of my witty title I made up. I felt so proud of myself when I made that joke with friends over the past weekend. All I kept thinking was this is definitely going to become a real phrase in the near future...just you wait.
