And I say "stupid" for lack of a better word...unintelligent? Uneducated? Thoughtless? Let's not beat around the bush here...STUPID. So, I'm going to make a list of things that need to be said because like I say, sometimes...you just gotta say it.
So, starting us off at number one...
1.) This is for all of those girls (and boys) that post half naked pictures of themselves on the internet. Stop. For the love of God, STOP. If you feel the need to continue this horrendous act then caption them appropriately. Be honest and replace your "going to bed! Good night, world!" with a more fitting " Just wanted EVERYONE and their brothers to see how good I look with this filter!" We know you don't curl your hair and put on makeup before bed. Heidi Klum doesn't even do that.
2.) For those of you posting about needing to find "romance" and looking for "that one guy/girl that you can take care of and will take care of you," you're not going to find it at Zan or Bubbles or any other cliche named night club. There's a reason those places are called night clubs and it's because most people that are there wouldn't be doing what they're doing in broad daylight...because it's shameful and embarrassing. Romance is something you find in a healthy marriage and a healthy marriage is something that is God centered and believe me, God doesn't send you to room filled with alcohol dressed in black mesh to find it. If you're desperate enough to complain about it on Facebook, then start looking in the right places.
3.) There are good things that come with good relationships. There are a TON of GREAT things in fact. But get your priorities straight. If you want a spouse that will work out with you, that's great. If you want a spouse that'll watch football with you, that's great! All of these things are just...GREAT! But what's amazing, rewarding, and completely unexplainable? A spouse that prays with you and for you. The correct phrase is, "Couples who pray together stay together." Not "Couples who work out/watch football/do whatever else it is you find entertaining with you stay together." Again, "Couples who pray together STAY TOGETHER." It even rhymes! See how that works out?
4.) Oh, the issue of mirror pictures. If you're not familiar with what a mirror picture is then let me explain it...it is a picture of someone who is holding a camera in the mirror to take a picture of their reflection. It's actually quite innovative. We are ALL guilty of the mirror picture whether we're sending outfit or hair approval to the "bestie" or simply just checking ourselves out. This may surprise you, but here's what I think about mirror pictures. If you're wearing a sufficient amount of clothing and your pose doesn't involve showcasing certain "assets," then GO FOR IT. Get that mirror picture, boys and girls, because that outfit looks dang good on you and everyone should know it. So, get it, Facebook, just get it.
And lastly, but certainly not least...
5.) Represent. Whatever it is you're saying or doing, represent it with consistency. This simply means that the people who are posting, "I love church, Jesus, and everything else that resembles some form of holiness" one day and "Getting totes wasted tonight" the next are probably not the most consistent people ever. People read those posts and yes, they think the same thing I'm saying right now. Let me put it in perspective, because you know who you are...when I scroll through my feed and see posts like that, I think, "Wait, what church does that person go to?" "What makes them think that's okay?@ "Couldn't they have at least decided to delete the previous post before making this one?" Yeah, no one is thinking, "Man, I'm jealous! I want to get totes wasted after church!" No one.
And so I'll end my rant with this...no one is perfect, I know. No one should be judging you, I know. But guess what? Jesus can read Facebook too. Just saying.
