+ side to Facebook

There are many times that I'm over Facebook, and find it exhausting and draining. It's safe to say I have a love/hate relationship with social media...closer to the dislike side lately. Waaaayyyy too much bragging, gossip, and outright flaunting for me.

I digress. On Friday evening, as John and I were driving to our campsite to meet up with friends, I came across an article that a friend posted on FB regarding the movie Magic Mike and the female Christian's response to this movie. I'm not going to lie- prior to reading this article, I very likely would have seen the movie, but feel very convicted and have made a commitment not to see it. The article was written by a Christian male, and he brought up some very good points. There are a few points he makes, but the most convicting and relative to me was: would I want John to go to a movie mainly about female strippers and then coming home and telling me how hot and sexy those women are?! Um- NO! If I feel strongly that he shouldn't expose his eyes and heart to those things, why should I expose my eyes, and my heart to those things?! You got it...the answer is- I shouldn't be.

Here is the article I read last Friday, and it's been on my mind since.

If it wasn't for Facebook, I likely would not have come across this article, and likely wouldn't have been challenged about this moral issue. I'm far from a perfect person, and I'm okay admitting that I need people in my life to shine light on areas that I may not be aware of.


Thanks, Facebook. You're not so bad...
