Still, behind the scenes, underneath the celebrities, there is a network of quieter folks, no less inspiring and with compelling stories -- folks that blow you away with their sincerity and friendship.
These "nobodies" (a group which I humbly fall in to) are what make social networks what they are. I know that I can get with Danny with a quick tweet, or shoot the breeze with Pamela, or argue with Karen. I can TokBox with Amanda, Richard, Scott, Ms Michelle and the rest of the Rowdy 180 till the wee hours of the morning.
I know that Waalien is always available; JennFelt is just a call away; I can plan a lunch meeting with Jace, Justin and/or Antoine on the fly. I can talk poetry with Sarah, cyber-box with Paige and call on Ron for some back-up. Cool thing is that I can pray with any and all of these people at any given time.
I could go on and on. I could shut down Blogger if I took the time to detail how my social family affects me and my ministry. From 180 to CB to beyond, I am grateful for the friendship, and for being celebrities in my life.
As a tribute, I am starting a segment... starting with a couple people you may or may not have heard of, called "People I Dislike..."
Stay tuned...

Awesome!! Happy to hear that I am a "Celebrity" in someone's life.
You are a "Celebrity" to us all as well. It is a blessing to know you and to be a part of your life.
Feel free to shoot the breeze with me anytime... :o)
I love the concept. Thanks! Somehow with your heart, I don't think God considers you a nobody.
I'm honored to be a nobody right there next to you. Despite all the bantering (I refuse to call it arguing), it is an honor and a blessing to have met you and your wife (even if you don't approve of my friendship with her).
Very well written.
