I’m always grateful for our Sweet Tweets, but lately they have been a lifesaver for me as my travel schedule has me on the run and my book writing has begun in earnest. John Clem’s time spent compiling the most important news of the week keeps me tuned in to what’s been happening during the week. I urge you personally to participate in John’s Greater Good Technology campaign. This is technology at the service of the Word!
