The Ten Commandments For Positive Use of FB and other social media

1.      If it is not good for you to share your life with others there do not use it.
2.      Leave freedom for those who may find it useful to spread good news to their family, friends and people around the world.  Do not hate the messenger just because some of the news is bad.  From cave etchings to today’s social media there is a desire to give and receive the news of people’s lives.
3.      Keep in mind some will misuse it as they have the printed word and slick color magazine, but that doesn’t mean that the instrument cannot be used for good things.
4.      Remember that in a free society elections will have important results and any means of changing minds will be used.  The evil men and women will use these methods for bad news.  We must use them for good news.
5.      From high school students to shut ins’ in nursing homes, FB and other social media is the only connection that cannot be blocked by one’s travel limitations and it keeps people alive in some cases.
6.      Try to focus on improving the use of a communication device instead of being against it totally.
7.      Do not think that just because it takes a while to learn how to put guard rails around something like social media that the genie will go back in the bottle.
8.      Be aware that in some countries the only freedom they have to learn a better way of life comes through social media.
9.      Work to pass laws that help people to be better informed and safe when you have opportunity.
10.  Remember as you battle the alligators of smart phones and social media that the basic job is to drain the swamp of hate and fill it with love in our homes, schools and nations.

9.4- Broken eggs.

9.4- Broken eggs. I had been warned Don't try to carry too much in from the grocery store at once. Learn the hard way or the easy way. Why does the only thing that falls off is the most fragile? The carton was crushed. Several eggs were broken. I have learned to keep looking when a little frustration comes to stay alert. Some good can come out of something bad. Getting laid off from the wrong job can lead to the right job. Getting bumped from the wrong flight to get the right flight, five minutes later plus a free flight. Now I watch for the turn and learn from frustrating little things. Broken eggs. Scrambled eggs. Romans 12 14  Bless those who persecute  [ q ] you; bless and do not curse.   15  Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.   16  Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be  [ r ] haughty in mind, but  [ s ] associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.   17  Never repay evil for evil to anyone.  [ t ] Respect what is right

9.2- There was this grasshopper who appeared to be very old and very wounded.

 9.2- There was this grasshopper who appeared to be very old and very wounded. He drug himself along. Where he was amazed me. On the ground level at the gas station near Gordon Texas was dirt and oil and the danger of feet and tires. As I pumped 39.30 worth of fuel I wondered how did he get out of the dirt and danger to the safety of the top of the gas pump? As I get older I sometimes feel I am dragging along like a grasshopper. My spirit is fueled by seeing how my life includes my maker providing safety for me by the help of family, friends and strangers. Two such are my nephew, Lynn And Sheri Luttrell. He is a prof. at ACU and she the owner and leader of stepping Stones school. Got to spent two days of fun, 42 and homemade ice cream last week. Ecclesiastes 12. 12  Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years approach when you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”;   2  before the sun and the light, the moon and the stars are darkened

 9.3- I have been given a bed to go to sleep in where a window is high and laying on my back I can see the moon at times. Flat of my back I can choose to think of the maker of the moon. A space craft from India landed there yesterday near the south pole of the moon where they think there may be water. Once the greatest human who ever lived faced his hardest days. He spoke words of steady trust and submission to his loving heavenly Father, maker of heaven and earth. "If possible may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." Matthew 26. 39  And He went a little beyond  them , and fell on His face and prayed, saying,  “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You  will .”   40  And He *came to the disciples and *found them sleeping, and He *said to Peter,  “So, you  men  could not keep watch with Me for one hour?   41  Keep watching and praying, so that you do not come into temptation; the spirit is  [ p ] willing,
