And if I've been too arrogant to think it was me when it's not please forgive me! Good to see you made it on to Facebook. I'm on there as it's one of the easiest ways to communicate with the students, which is my current area of "ministry". However, I, along with others, are recognising that the early 20's and teens are finding it a bit spooky that all these old people are creeping on to Facebook - perhaps it's becoming not so cool after all...........
