On New Years Eve I tip-toed back into Facebook quietly to check out ‘Timeline” and go over my privacy settings etc etc

My account had been de-activated since Dec 1st and honestly, I hadn’t missed it at all…………..but, I knew I was coming back……….at some point!

So, what has changed for me? What will be different, if anything?

Firstly, I’ve decided to stop sending my tweets automatically to Facebook………in order to encourage less commenting on pointless status updates, I felt it best to cut down on the amount of content/status updates and otherwise, that I send to Facebook…..

I have most definitely been guilty of sharing too much information and too often………..I have been guilty of starting online conversations that should not be had publicly on Facebook or, via a forum that is not face-to-face and “real”………….I have been guilty of hastily updating you with things that I should have stopped and considered more before sharing……

Criticisms of Church, criticisms of other Christians, smart-arse remarks about Church and about other Christians……….and thats before I even get to the cryptic comments that are about you but are thinly disguised so you know ……………..but you don’t really know because I’ve not named you……….

Many of you do this as well……..and, we should be ashamed of our immaturity!

And, yes I know……. twitter is just as easily mis-used so, my wrestle with this is not over by any means………..

“When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.” Proverbs 10:19

Altering my use of Facebook is just the beginning of a massive re-think about my words being many and about restraining my lips…..

How about you?
