1. I've had much more face-to-face time with people this week. I adore it.
2. Healing relationships is much easier than keeping a grudge. Thankful to God for a husband who speaks the truth gently and for Bible verses that help me remember that 'Real wisdom, God's wisdom, begins with a holy life, and is characterized by getting along with others.' (The Message - James 3:17a)
3. I like giving up something for Lent - Jesus gave up so much for me to have salvation, and my giving up something I enjoy is a faraway echo of His sacrifice. (Lent is probably my favorite season)
4. Seriously contemplating shutting down my facebook account(s). People can include my e-mail in messages and...not having been on there for days, I see I haven't missed much. The thought of giving it up permanently is quite freeing.
5. I really, really want an Anglican rosary so I can say the rosary prayers I found - a Celtic one, and the Julian of Norwich prayer.
If giving up facebook makes you happy, do it! (I personally love it, but I see how it can take up time/be frustrating).
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love the Julian of Norwich prayer.
I hope to see you soon; working on the other side of town cuts down on my CIU time.
The thing is, there are some people that I don't have contact with outside of FaceBook. So that's a big reason I haven't deleted it yet. On the other hand...those people and I haven't really had contact in a while, and I hate some of the stuff that goes on in FaceBook (I've had to deal with unpleasant comments or keeping some stuff still a secret...I can't be myself, even online.), I do enjoy it. I just don't know. As I grow older, I get more tired of technology and just want to go off it completely (which I know is not really feasible/practical, and I know if I become an author/famous person, I'd love to interact with fans in some way)...blah. I don't know. That's the real feeling. :P The Flair, messages, events, and photos are worth it most of the time.
ReplyDeleteI would love to hang out with you more! I always have fun spending time with you, and Abbie gave me a bunch of great magazines - we could collage together at some point!
