Jesus IS on Facebook...

       Well how do you know He isn't ? If you believe, He is everywhere and imagine if He is reading everything we post, language, slutty stuff (sorry God) and all the crap (sorry God-again) we put out there. But there is also so much good and great stuff we post, good news, kid news, new born babies-nothing like that-and we send prayers for those we love and even those we don't. Maybe if we did pray more for those we don't love, we' turn life around.
       How did we forget Onward Christian Soldiers? To me that says it all if we are Christians, believers in God and what He means. No matter, a Jew, a Christian, and any other faith, if that faith is about doing goodness and believing then Onward Christian Soldiers we are.
          To me that means a Christian soldier doesn't have to talk it-but you do have to walk and live it. I know a man who I never knew. By that I mean he just was a guy, some guy, a neighbor, a friend,(kind of) a husband and father, but I didn't really know him in depth and no reason to, except if I needed someone to act as a friend, he would be there, he was there and showed me others as good and as nice as he, but they talked the talk and walked the walk. For me when a person is too preachy I wonder, is there a catch. There wasn't.
         I trust more people, who do, just do without the preachy part. Unless I ask of course. This guy was like another who I knew as a kid. He walked the walk, showed by example and spoke quietly. Honest, integrity and character. I loved that man, still do. I think about Jesus and that man as I know this other person, and see in His likeness, those two men.
      So now when you post on face book, think about what you write, and I will too. By the way, I don't know why I wrote this tonight, but Jesus comes to us at all kinds of times. That makes me wonder who knocked so softly on my door yesterday. I didn't answer, so maybe tonight He came to me about face book.
Pleasant Dreams.

YEA! Chris Broussard ESPN

       Put your hate away. I am not attacking people who are gay. What I am attacking is the people who are so quick to hate others who have opinions using their rights of FREE SPEECH !
   Look at all of the groups of people who have free speech rights without threats of getting fired and beat up and spit upon. If J.D.HAkes said the same thing about this basketball player would the reaction be the same? I doubt it. Please don't take out of context what Chris Broussard said. He is talking about sin in general.
     He is talking about sin and how much of a braggart people we have become as if all of the things we do wrong are okay and accepted. People brag about cheating on their spouses, having an illegal gun, sneaking into the country, selling drugs, posting sex crimes on face book, killing children. I too wonder why is this all okay? Yes I know it isn't, so where do people get the idea it's okay to shout your wrongdoings to others?
    We need to turn the clock back to a period in time when SHAME meant something. That's an odd word isn't it. How many men sexually abused their kids with wives knowing all along, yet who was the person who was ashamed, the victim. When it comes to sexual crimes, even today, it is the victim who is made to feel the shame. So within that is it a male vs. female double standard thing? Yes, without a doubt. It's also power, adult verses child and victim.
    Now we come back to the times we live in today. We don't bother with our neighbors, too busy. We won't help unless it involves money (not true of everyone I know) Social media has become our best friend, and so it's very easy to attack from our computers, twitter, face book and iphones. That's called social cowardism. Free Speech is meant for everyone, not just the side you take, and the person you agree with. Have a nice face book day.
