My wife recently opened a new Facebook account. The first few days she had more friends than I would have come to my funeral. I watched each day as our email account was inundated with Facebook notifications. I have to admit, I was jealous. I have like two friends in the world and in a week, my wife has 75 new friends.
Am I missing something? I wonder if I should open a facebook account. (I actually tried several years ago, but that was when you had to be a student. I guess they were trying to keep old guys like me out.)
So, I have been sneaking around of facebook recently using Linda’s account, just to see what it is all about. So far, I don’t get it. I want to get it. I am looking for a reason to open an account. Not much luck so far. And it has something to do with chitchat.

Just now reading your posts on facebook...
Let's be clear about FB. FB is not bad. But, it has become an "excuse" for some adults to avoid getting off their butts and serving others; of actively particpating in the kingdom. It's the same excuse as the XBOX, Wii, Playstation, etc. is for our youth. That being said, FB is a great tool to connect with others. Really!
And, Mark - in all seriousness, you have way more friends than just 2. You are loved... by many!

Adding a little clarity to my earlier thoughts...
I think it's all about BOUNDARIES. Adults are just as bad about setting them as the youth. You can see it in the amount of time spent on FB playing games - instead of spending time with family or serving others. Too much of anything is not a good thing. So if boundaries are set and FB is used sparingly (so as not to take away from family life and responsiblities), then I see FB as not such a bad thing.
