I don’t usually talk to people on airplanes. This may surprise you, since I am an evangelist, but I don’t really like people that much so I try to keep to myself if I can. I couldn’t last night on my flight from San Diego to Reno.

I had to squeeze into a middle seat on the very crowded airplane. I thought I needed to do some small talk with the people who were now forced to become somewhat physically intimate with me (I take up ALL of a standard airline seat and then some…which is why I try to get an isle seat usually), so I introduced myself and offered to use my free drink coupons to buy them a drink once we got in the air. “If we’re going to sweat on each other, we might as well enjoy it.” This sort of took the edge off the awkwardness.

My first experience with digital interaction came about twelve years ago when I started posting on a political bulletin board.  I would peruse the boards nightly and add my two cents’ worth when I felt like it.  I started out as nothing more than a reader.   I learned that I could hide behind a secret identity, which could be changed whenever I felt like it.  I got my husband involved, too, and he started to get into it.  He made a few friends online and he still receives messages from them to this day. 

As for me, I got frustrated with the pointlessness of it all and I didn’t like dealing with the flamers.  Flamers are those who start posting provocative things just to get others riled up, and it usually works.   I lost interest in it after a while until I started to blog about six years ago.  I started to blog because I wanted to hone my writing skills a bit.

I am not making this up.  The picture above was taken with my iPhone, just because I didn’t think anyone would believe me.  I was in Temecula, CA this weekend visiting friends.  I stopped into a local public restroom to relieve myself, and when I walked up to the urinal there was a “Jesus fish” card right there on the porcelin.  It had a version of the “Romans Road” on the back, including a version of the sinners prayer.  And a large black hair right next to it (eewwww!).

Urinal evangelism.  Harder to spell than “Doable”, but hey…you don’t even have to be in the room to get ‘er done!

Wow.
