I was forced to stop doing these daily meditations-in-140-characters when I changed to an iPhone from a Blackberry. I miss doing them terribly, and I am now debating how I can do them once more. Producing these short daily reflections was an important part of my daily devotional, and did me (and I suspect, a few others) some spiritual good.
One of the key issues about restarting is the economics, as I don’t have an unlimited text package anymore, and that would be an extra £8 a month. But that’s a lot for me, right now.
The other is technological, as I used to use the wonderful QuickerSMS which linked my BB to my laptop; and as far as I can see, there is NO such product for the iPhone. There are loads of posts from people asking if there was anything that did this, but would Apple deign to allow anyone to sell one of these on their AppStore? Nah! If anyone knows of a solution, could they let me know in the comments.
I could create a group text list and do it that way, but I suppose I need to know if others miss the texts, and would get benefit from them.
Another solution would be just to do it via Mastodon, which would be good for some of us, cost-effective (ie free for me to do) but isn’t quite so immediate.
What would you like?
In short, yes I miss them, they were greatly appreciated, although I understand the reasons they had to stop. It would be great to have them back in some form, particularly as we head towards Lent.
I, for one, would be happy to see them resurrected via Mastodon. As an o2 user, I can get twitter to send them along to my mobile via text, so it would still be immediate. I’d hate to see a cost to you, however small, for something that could achieved freely.
For those for whom twitter is not an option, I would happily sponsor a month or two at £8 at month – a paypal donate button is always a possibility?
Many thanks for the work you put in when they were going.

I really miss your daily texts as they more often than not give me food for thought or link into something that is happening in my life at that present moment. Would love to get them again in some shape or form.
Thanks for all your time taken in doing them

PS I too wouldn’t mind sponsoring a month or so

I value them significantly more than the 4 pints of cider (even 7.4% Katy) that I could otherwise buy for in the College bar, for £8. I refuse to translate that into possible chocolate or Gin expenditure, but, as a kept woman, I’m happy to donate Geoff’s money to the pool.
More seriously I would love to get them again; you so often seem to say just what I need to hear. Sometimes God needs all the help he can get in getting through, and he uses you as a powerful tool. Perhaps that is why you find you miss doing them so much.

I miss them too. And maybe you should seek sponsorship. But if you did it via Mastodon please could it be from a seperate Mastodon account so that just the texts got forwarded to mobiles. Thank you.

I miss them too! Looks as though there was a reason I kept nagging you! I would be happy to sponsor a month too.
Tweeting is good for me but I did like the texts. Happy to donate.

I don’t tweet. I loved the texts and would indeed be happy to sponser a few months if you give me your address. (No paypal)
They amazingly often spoke directly to my life at the time.
