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.

6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence

-
 6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence I have a close friend who started listening to my confidential words 46 years ago. He guards his lips and preserves secrets and deep friendship. He does not speak rashly. He doesn't add shame to the bad things l have experienced. He reduces my burdens by his grace. He has good judgement regarding when to speak and when to remain silent. This gives him good long term friends and deep joy. Proverbs 13 3  A wise son  accepts his  father’s discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke. 2  From the fruit of a person’s mouth he  [ a ] enjoys good, But the  [ b ] desire of the treacherous is violence. 3  One who guards his mouth protects his life; One who opens wide his lips  [ c ] comes to ruin. 4  The soul of the  [ d ] lazy one craves and  gets  nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made  [ e ] prosperous. 5  A righteous person hates a f...

9.7- The long prayers about not electing anyone who doesn't support babies in the womb

 9.7- The long prayers about not electing anyone who doesn't support babies in the womb but unwilling to support and educate them for the next 18 years. Save your political action prayers for the meeting with your win/lose political party, whether you are democrat, republican or independependent as far as I'm concerned. Preach and sing the gospel but leave moral slobbery for some group that doesn't abuse children and cover it up and practices racism as a normal thing. The teacher said don't strain out gnats and swallow camels. Stop bad religion please. Matthew 25 31  “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.   32  And all the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, just as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;   33  and He will put the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left. 34  “Then the King...

8.16- Confidence is a good thing. A well trained Olympic athlete is very confident.

 8.16- Confidence is a good thing. A well trained Olympic athlete is very confident. They train four years or longer for this moment on beam and fall down the beam or fall of the beam. They fly off and miss the uneven bars. Knowing they cannot win a medal. They have messed up and gone off the horse. What do they do? They get back on the horse. They finish their routine with a confident smile. They do not let that failure define them. Our life is not marked by a failure unless we allow it to be. The choice is ours. Bad day at work yesterday. Make today that much better. 2 Corinthians 4 7  But we have this treasure in  [ e ] earthen containers, so that the extraordinary  greatness  of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;   8  we are  afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;   9  persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed;   10  always carryi...
