Why Bother?Genesis 17-18 - Will a son be born to a man 100 years old and a woman the age of 90?
Abraham gave the best of what he had . . . Sarah laughed . . .
God is NOT done with us and is continually asking us to birth new, irrational and unexpected things.
What are we being asked to birth, to give and to know?

Effective SM Usagebe you: appropriate, honest, consistent just as you would IRL;
be interactive: engage, comment, respond, inquire, link and like;
be mindful: Most people lurk and observe without every interacting.
be humble: don’t overestimate your influence and avoid delusions of grandeur.
be bold: don’t underestimate your influence to begin and sustain meaningful movements.
