But is it okay to tweet in church? Churchgoers are more likely to tweet a message live, but how do pastors feel about their congregants using cell phones during the sermon? I looked for a precedent online, and read Anthony Coppedge‘s e-book The Reason Your Church Must Twitter, but the book didn’t deal with the issue.

So I proposed the idea to Ryan Phipps, the campus pastor, and found that it wasn’t an issue. I wrote a statement that I suggested including in the Sunday program, and today Ryan surprised me by tweeting a pic of the printed statement — preceded by a headline that clearly answers my question:

I also grabbed the Superfood because I’ve had one before, and I can’t remember when. There may have been a story involved, and I’m waiting to recall it. If I can’t, this post may go nowhere. I can’t think in this waiting room anyway; I’m going to go for a walk to get away from the crying, germy baby…

…I remember. I had a bottle of this stuff when I was recovering from food poisoning, and I didn’t feel like eating. I was working from the Lawrenceville Crazy Mocha with Justin Kownacki, and there is no story involved.

My walk took me to the chapel, where I’ve gone before at times like this.

It’s very quiet, and always empty. This is a solemn place from which to blog. I prayed, I read, I listened, and I waited; these are the things to do here. I prayed for G, who has been having a difficult time today, physically and emotionally. I prayed that he does the same, because I don’t have the answers that he’s waiting for.

Part of me thinks I should go to Church, and another part of me doesn’t agree with formal religion. I think both parts are waiting for each other…
