I'll be your friend, but not a very good one...

Facebook. Everyone is on facebook these days. It's been interesting to find people from the past - high school, college, early days in the ministry - and the present. If you know me and you are on facebook, please feel free to send me a friend request. But I will warn you ahead of time, I'm not a very good "friend".

If you send me a button or a piece of flair, I probably won't acknowledge it or send anything in return. You can invite me to your favorite events, ask me to join a cause, or hit me with snowballs and water balloons. I don't mind, but everything gets an "ignore". Automatically. I don't even think about it. I don't need to take a quiz to find out that I know nothing about music in the 80's, films in the 90's, or TV in the 60's. I don't care if my IQ is lower than Peyton Manning's or higher than Herman Munster's.

Life is too busy and too complicated in the real world; I don't have time for all that in the digital world. If you want to "friend" me, fine. But don't expect very much.
