I just deleted my facebook account. I've simply deactivated it before, but always have returned to it. This time I deleted everything on it, so even if I reactivate it there will be nothing there. I'm glad I did it. Today in an interview, I was asked to give an example of a time I took a stand. As trivial as this seems (and ironic as I'm writing this on a blog), this feels like taking a stand. Facebook has become an excuse for me to not truly invest in the lives of others. I know how you're doing because I read your status and looked at pictures you took on a trip last weekend. But not because I asked or because you told me. Not because I took the time to call you or write you or visit with you. Not because I put you before myself, encouraged you, wept with you, laughed with you.
I have wasted so many hours (which turn into days and weeks and months) on facebook. Ha. That's not the kind of woman I want to be. I want to be about the business of my King. I want to be a lover of people. How can I merely listen to the Word and not do what it says?
