I despise the recently constant chatter about Twitter, and here I am adding to it twice in twenty-four hours. Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I contradict myself. (I am large, I contain multitudes.) On Twitter I follow, basically, some friends, some Mac sites, and . . . this: an hourly feed of prayers attributed to St. John Chrysostom. The juxtapositions create some interesting food for meditation. For instance, yesterday, during the keynote presentation at Apple’s WWDC, I got this from The Unofficial Apple Weblog:
iPhone 3GS: Faster, with video, environmentally friendly. Available July 19, $299 for 32GB, $199 for 16GB
And immediately following, from chrysostomhours:
O Lord, save me from temptation.
