2015 was the year I finally got on Twitter. With Twitter getting started in 2007, I was only eight years behind. Not bad for me. At this rate I’ll get my first hybrid car in 2037.

But, in recognition of my first year on Twitter (and in a shameless effort to gain more followers), what follows are fifteen of my favorite tweets from 2015:

If there is more than one person in the picture, is it a selfie or an “us-ie”?

I love being at a church that loves its community!

Courage isn’t the absence of fear. It’s acting on what you believe in the midst of fear.

A first draft always needs revision. In writing, and in life.

Others will tell you who are. Only God knows who you are.

Here I am, Lord. Send me. (Which, by the way, is a great tweet to end one year, and retweet the next.)
