In April, I mentioned here on the blog that I was creating a Facebook page. Well, today, Russ Rankin (from LifeWay Communications) emailed me to tell me that I have 666 friends. This is not good and I am accepting some new requests to fix the problem. However, does it seem a bit suspicious that the guy who told me about the 666 is also the guy who appears under the number on my profile page.
Just sayin'...

hmm... that's no good. I shot you a friend invite to change the count.

Then what's it mean that I'm the second on that row? I think it's a sign from God... but in a good way.

Wow. I'm glad I didn't make the top three in that group. Ha!

This cracks me up. Congratulations Russ. And Ed ... it's a shame to be so popular so fast. But really, 666 friends ???????
Have an awesome weekend ... you'll get more friends soon ... I'm sure!

OK--you are right---666 can be scary---you need to find some new friends---or you could lose a few....

Wow!!!! that's kind of scary. But I'm pretty sure that Facebook nor ED nor any of his friends are the beast, so May God Bless you and keep you in all your ways!

And who said you didn't have friends?

Joe, I still think you are in trouble being next to Russ.

Ed, I used to be a saint until I spent time studying under Jack Allen at NOBTS. =)

Joe, contrary to Ed's warnings, you're in no danger. And regardless of the abuse Ed heaps upon me, his little ruse obviously worked, as now he is quickly approaching a more celestial 777 number of "friends."

Well Ed, I have 1849 friends. This is the only place in the world I am ahead of you. And you are my friend there. I expect after your announcement here you will quickly surpass me. But I will still have more fb friends under 25 I betcha. I am comfortable with the younger crowd I guess.
I am surprised at how many older friends I suddenly have, guys like you (ouch), danny akin, alan hirsch, steve sjogren, and bloggerdudes like marty duren. What is the world coming to--old guys like us moving in on college turf? smiles.
Whats next, a myspace? Mine is docreid7/ Join the movement. But I am not getting a xanga.
