This week my friend list on Facebook topped 600. I now officially have more friends than my college age daughter. I don’t know if I should brag about that or not. Here is what I do know: Facebook has become a ministry tool. It has become a way for me to stay connected with persons at our church and in my community and from what I learn I have conversation starters when I get the privilege of seeing these people in person.

Just recently a consultant in Nashville, Maurilio Amorim, posted a blog "Should Pastors Use Social Media?" I hope you take a few moments to read this.

I am new to the social networking world but I have become a fan in a short time and a user of both Facebook and Twitter. So if you get a chance I would love to connect with you on both Facebook and Twitter.
