Social Networks

Many years ago I signed up for myspace. This social network online to get in touch with friends. This is supposed to be a user friendly system, the main reason I signed up for this service was for the sole purpose of seeing what the kids were doing. At the time I was working with the youth group at the church and wanted to keep in touch with the kids. But I rarely used it because I found it quite hard. Then facebook came along, this wonderful new system easy to use and games to play. The next thing I knew I was re-meeting old friends from high school and many individuals from the church. Here on this site it was easier to play games have fun and keep in touch with my friends. With many different alerts and other items available. But the real fun began when my younger sister FINALLY got onto facebook. Like all siblings when I mentioned the system she poo pooed it and said I DON'T think so but within the next year her best friend signed up convinced her to sign up and the next thing I knew I was re-meeting individuals I had not spoken to in 18-20 years. Friends from my old college and youth group. Individuals I had not heard from but had prayed for and thought of a million times over the year. Now I canot wait to sign on and see who has found me next. The boy I first kissed, my first crush or the closest friends from college. My college roommate ... who knows but what I do know is for a social network it has become some thing I truly enjoy.
