My first 1,000th tweet.

I think about the posts I send

They're thought out, filtered & neat. 

But I'm wondering what to say now

For my first 1,000th tweet. 

Should it be a message to my wife?

Something romantic or sweet?

But there's my other followers

Who'll read my 1,000th tweet.

Maybe be self-deprecating. 

About my nose or feet. 

But that'll just make me a fisher

For my first 1,000th tweet. 

I could write a scathing critique 

Of a celeb I'll never meet. 

But it'll pander to that whole machine

When I send my 1,000th tweet. 

I could berate my culture,

Country, town or even street. 

But these issues will change not long

After my 1,000th tweet. 

I could speak of faith and of belief. 

Things that cause my heart to beat. 

And alienate half of the ones

Who'll see that 1,000th tweet. 

So I'll write wise words to those

Who read these words to beat. 

Try to make each post you send

Just like your 1,000th tweet. 

Prodigal

Prodigal

What have I become?
I'm ruined by your love and grace.
You took me, head bowed in despair
And lifted up my face.

Can it all be true?
All that heaven has to impart.
Is taken, wrapped and handed down
To an undeserving heart.

So I will run into your arms
Run into your arms
The prodigal returns
To the father's heart that yearns
Welcomed and safe from harm

So can this be grace?
My slate has been wiped clean.
No trace of past wrongs on my sheet.
No dark stains to be seen.

Can this all be fair?
This favor is so undeserved.
For a life that turn away from you.
There's no punishment reserved.


So I will run into your arms
Run into your arms
The prodigal returns
To the father's heart that yearns
Welcomed and safe from harm

So can I know hope?
Can this life still be used?
The rescued becomes the rescuer.
No seeking heart refused.

So what is to come?
Not sent out on my own.
But you with me along each step
Till I hear my welcome home.


So I will run into your arms
Run into your arms
The prodigal returns
To the father's heart that yearns
Welcomed and safe from harm

Face-rage

Now, so many people share so much of themselves on social media sites, an odd phenomenon seems to have started.
I've decided to call it Face-rage.
What happens is that someone gets very cross about other people's behaviour and rages about their behaviour on their status/tweet /etc. This is usually directed at one person and usually a friend of the person face-raging, but it can also be a boss, rival or ex-partner. I've even seen ones where the rager doesn't even know who the person is.
The rage itself ranges from passive-aggressive to borderline abuse/trolling.

Here's my question.
What benefit is there in this spleen venting?
Does it actually makes us feel better or (as I suspect) fuel the anger/bitterness all the more.
I doubt the person referred to (the ragee if u like) will ever see the comment and think “That's a very good point. Perhaps I should change my future behaviour.” So what is the point?
I would argue that it actually says more about the rager than the ragee, but what do you all think?
Should we just talk to person who has wronged us or is this the best way to express our feelings?
