at about 67,000 miles per hour,
in a solar system that’s traveling around the Milky Way
at over 500,000 miles per hour.

My social media strategy:
- Relentlessly encourage, edify & inform.
- Ignore trolls, mockers & slanderers into oblivion.
- Starve dissensionists, narcissists, & errorists of the attention they crave.
- Point people to sound people & resources.
- Exalt Christ. Bible. Grace. Truth.Gospel.
- Stay out of food fights. Don’t lob hand grenades into serious discussions. Bring people together.
- Be kind. Persuade (rather than rally).
- Treat people on social media like I would treat them in person.
- Don’t be different on social media from what I am in my life, family, church and ministry. Be the same person online and offline.
- Don’t give inordinate attention to people whose only “platform” is social media & who elsewhere have little accountability, responsibility.

restored peace to my mourning heart,
chastened me for my profit.
All Your work for me is perfect, and I praise You.
