This Lenten season I've been fasting. But not from food. From Facebook.
It's odd, I do feel like I'm missing out. On information. On gossip. On stuff I'd like to know about. On stuff I'd rather not know about. On laughs. On prayer needs. On the everyday lives of my friends that I've become accustomed to hearing about.
And I wonder, honestly, if Jesus were walking the earth today like he did 2000 years ago, would he have a Facebook account? I rather think he would, but not for the same reasons I do. He'd be doing his proclaiming to the people about his true identity. And he'd receive comment after comment. If you were Jesus Facebook friend, would that change how you use Facebook?
