The Day Jesus Saved My Twitter

Posted on 27. Jun, 2008 by loswhit in Amigos, Authenticity

As humid as it is in Atlanta, I feel like all the humidity in the United States travels to Texas to mate and produce offspring humidity.
When I missed my flight yesterday afternoon and the nice lady at the counter looked at me and told me that I was going to have to sleep in the Dallas airport for 6 hours I almost cried on the spot.
All I could imagine is me laying in some corner of terminal A with the air conditioning turned off while trying to sleep on random fluid filled carpet.
So I twittered.
I knew that the “replies” tab on twitter was broken so I figured the chance of scoring a sofa were slim to none.
About 2 minutes after I twittered I got 7 emails, 3 phone calls, and many unseen tweets.
4 hours later I was standing next to this dude.
Dsc 4379

This is Trevor DeVage. He is the brains behind Remedy 4 This Heart and Fresh Air Poetry.
He was standing at baggage claim with a smile and some good news.
About 200 yards away from the terminal was the Hyatt.
He drove me across the street and told me that his wife and him had taken care of everything.
He handed me a room key and a REALLY nice cigar.
I was floored by his generosity.
I cranked the AC and climbed in bed.
I love it when I see Jesus in people.
Tonight, Jesus just happened to use Twitter.

    another reason to love twitter! another reason to believe that church is still “alive and kicking” as they sang about in the 80′s.

    I was so pumped by Trevor’s generosity that I just went and bought a shirt on his Remedy4ThisHeart site.

    If a few thousand of us pitch in and buy one we can turn your hotel room into a big fat donation to poverty.

    Maybe I shouldn’t rip on Twitter so much…

    It may just get me out of sleeping at an airport someday.

    Cool story, Los. =)

    Crap, I wish twitter didn’t hate me so much lately. That could have been me with Los sleeping under his roof. I would have driven to airport and picked you up man.

    Oh, well. Another time…another time…

  26. Heidi Reed 27 June 2008 at 5:57 pm #

    Just because of that if I am baking a boy his name will be Trevor.

    Yep.

    Great story!

    Seriously though, that is the name we have picked out if the baby has a ding-dong.
