I have been on facebook for several years. When I first started I enjoyed the picture sharing of the kids, the informational groups about canning and gardening, my facebook blog and sharing hints and tips. But now… my entire facebook feed is rainbow tinted profile pictures, confederate flag news posts, and religion bashing. I don’t need that kind of influences. The more people see and hear this stuff daily, the less they will be thankful for. When you surround yourself with negativity, all you get is negativity. Even the posts in our Missionary Baptist group has slowed down. But last night at revival I got to hear that 4 were saved at a local tent revival. So glad to hear of that good news!
I have a friend that isn’t much older than I. She has 3 kids ranging in ages 4 to 14… she doesn’t have a cell phone or computer. I envy her. She seems so happy. I am thinking about doing away with my FB page. I really hate to talk on the phone, but I like to write letters. I am afraid to do away with FB because I will be lonely. I find out about Homeschool group activities, sales going on locally, local news, and the like. But maybe, just maybe I don’t need those things.
Just last week I found out another family from my church has started homeschooling. Very exciting!
