Facebook has got me hooked.

Sadly my life revolves around superpoke pets, bejeweled blitz, tattoo pictures  and status updates.

I have been hurt by people de-friending me. Amazed at seeing high school classmates again.

I have de-friended people but asked them back.

Grateful to have people on there that I would normally not see very often.

Relieved to see people updating things even when they hide out from reality.

Sad to see some folks with messed-up lives. Glad to get to pray with them and for them.

So what would God say about this phenomenon called Facebook?

Are we doing what He intended with our lives? Are we bringing people to Him through this medium?

Will all the nations hear the Good News of the Lord and Savior thru FB?

I’m assuming like everything else in life Facebook needs to be balanced. Fit in among living, cooking, cleaning, reading, growing, moving, learning and loving.

I have purchased these books in the last couple months. Still attempting to try -all- the recipes

Yum, yum, yum.

Needed a pancake and waffle recipe.

She is a fab cook, some of the recipes look hard, but will try them!

Actually my favorite so far. Made sweet and spicy edamane with miso soup and quinoa for dinner.

They all have blogs and all books are on Amazon. Too lazy to link.

Hubby and I have recently come to -almost- blows about food. He wants meat.

I refuse to buy it or cook it. I’m not a very submissive wife. I literally come to tears thinking about him putting hamburger in his body. It’s that bad.

I offered for  him to come to the store with me and pick out some of his favorites. the shopping cart featured 15 frozen dinners, no meat and pop tarts.

Marriage is hard work…..

These are little prayers I get in my e-mail every day. I like to pray them in the morning when I check my FB!

    Ephesians 5:15-20 

Dear Father, 

Help me speak to my spouse, my family, your church, and the world about you and your grace. 

Let my heart and my mouth overflow with the music of praise – psalms and hymns and spiritual songs – as I sing and make melody in my heart to the Lord. 

Fill me with constant thanksgiving to you for everything. In the name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.
