you know on facebook how there are advertisements on the sides (some inappropriate..well actually most i would say are inappropriate) so when you are scrolling you get your week's worth of spam email that's not even email flashing in front of your eye balls? well there was this one that came up and i'm not sure how i feel about it. it's the "Do You Know John Mayer?" one. now that's not what disturbs me. what disturbs me is how many people i hear talking about those advertisements and then discussing their scores. here is the sale's pitch, "Take this fun quis and test your knowledge about John Mayer now!" haha i laugh at that. what was meant to be an "in-depth study/questionaire" of the person is really just a place for stalkers to see who's the better stalker. it's like they are starting a club- STALKERS UNITE! they make it sound like it's some sort of game. i am being a tad bit facetious but seriously. how do people have time for those kinda things! i'm on facebook 23 hours and 55 minutes of the day and i don't even have time for that! i think it's funny how facebook can consume so much of your life and you don't even know it (i should prolly just insert the word I and my for the "you's" in this sentence cause idk about you) actually it's not that funny but it is. it's kind of like those awkward moment's with people where it's really quiet then everyone gives the awkward laugh and then the sigh and it get's quiet again ALL AT THE SAME TIME! and then they do that short little laugh again. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!! haha i know that all 5 of the people that read this have done it cause i've done it with every single one of you! HAHA! don't feel bad about it, embrace it!
no but in all seriousness, how much time do we invest in things such as facebook, myspace, youtube, blogs, vlogs, world of warcraft, final fantasy and such. now i know everyone of you LOVES the last two things i mentioned so i won't say how i feel about those but i'm sure you could fill in the blanks about those, most utterly boring, gag me with a rusted spoon, time consuming things. but back to the topic at hand. how many of those things do we invest our time and attention and sometimes even our passion into compared to investing our time in growing spiritually. to better know the creator of the universe. i will be the first to tell you that I AM SOOOOOOOOOO GUILTY OF THAT!!!!! all the resources and opportunities that we are given to get to know our Lord and Savior and we don't jump on those. even those people that may not know Christ, or have a relationship with Him, how will they see that they can be free and the relief and love and comfort they can have if they see us using all our time to be on things such as those listed above (the list is really endless)? i want them to experience and feel that peace that passes all understanding!
i think we should all put down our WoW for a while and stop being stalkers of celebrities and maybe regroup/refocus on what we should be. just a thought. you know where you stand.
