I love facebook for lots of reasons. At the top of the list is the amazing connections. It's like two degrees of separation. Got friended by my freshman locker partner from High School not long ago. Reconnected with so many "long lost" friends from high school and college. But I got a message today that was over the top.
Someone messaged me and asked if I was the son of Don and Bonnie Batterson. I replied in the affirmative. And they told me that in 1959, my grandparents led her parents to the Lord! My grandparents, who were amazing people, made such an impact that one of their daughter's has my grandma's name as a middle name. So grateful for the spiritual legacy that my grandparents left. But to hear a story about how their lives influenced not just a family, but generations, was a profound reminder of that old saying: only one life will soon be past, only what's done for Christ will last.

Wow!!! Good stuff. I pray that I can live the kind of life that would have that kind of impact on the kingdom.
That's so cool, Mark! So facebook is a good thing, huh? Just gotta convince that Tony Morgan guy of it. :)
Jeff,
I got to the party late :) Just joined two months ago. But I love it.
Having said that, if Tony is against it I probably should be too :) Tony is da man!
Mark
