I don't give a FACEBOOK.......

****this post is meant to be more comical then anything else. If you are offended A. it probably fits you....and B. We ALL need to learn to laugh at ourselves more right?

Ok..so here's a rant. I was so excited about facebook at first. But now I really feel it's simply feeding people's urge to be self minded (myself included. This is probably WAYYYY more for me then ANYBODY else.). I've come to realize, if I wasn't in ministry, I wouldn't have one.i Facebook is like ORLANDO.....it is NOT REAL (for all my Floridians, you know what i mean. Orlando is not a real representation of the actual FLORIDA)..It IS however a great way to get a mass about of information out at once.....
It's all about OUR status, which comically to me goes against almost anything JESUS right? no? maybe? huh? I'm babbling, but i SWEAR this all makes sense in MY HEAD....(which is a very very lonely place)

Here's what I don't give a facebook about:

I don't give a facebook about:  (STATUS SPEAKING) 
-y0ur workout routines (this includes running "x" miles per day)
-who your having lunch/dinner/coffee with (this includes your "amazingly beautiful ____________)
-when your sitting in Starbucks doing GOD KNOWS WHAT?
-you going to the gym...or NOT..
 -every conversation you have, during every moment of your day
-how long you spent at the gym
-your eating schedule (s)......
-who your hanging out with every moment of your ever popular life
-for the love of all that is holy YOUR FLIGHT SCHEDULE (S)
-whatever your watching on t.v.
-your gym schedule....(again..i know)
-if you want me text you while your at the GYM....
-when you are getting a haircut
-whatever cute thingy your pet has done.
-(for pastors) your prep time, your meeting "key" leaders, your speaking schedules, flight schedules, book sales, staff meetings, how great your staff is
-MAFIA WARS....(seriously)
-if your up way to early....or way too late...
-what kinda SONG best describes you
-what kinda GYM describes you
-comments on "HOW AMAZED YOU ARE BY HOW MANY FRIENDS YOU HAVE ON FACEBOOK?"
-All your RIDICULOUS rants on government and how the president is the DEVIL.....
-if your status @'s someone (ex....Jimmy is meeting @bobloser for lunch....you should be punched in the face)

all time worst example of a STATUS:

Jimmy is meeting @joeydillweed for lunch, then hitting the gym to run 900 mile, even though it's waaay to early to be up, but it's OK because later I'm catching a flight to talk leadership with @JesusChrist, and how we can overthrow @OBAMA, AND my new book "how to play F.B. mafia wars", while listening to becks "loser" which f.b. decided was the song that best describes me, .........TEXT IT.....



WHAT I DO GIVE A FACEBOOK ABOUT:
genuine things about YOUR day
funny sayings you heard, or said
YOUR birthday
events in YOUR life
birth of your child
gifts you received 
anniversary celebrations (no details on dinner needed)
an old story YOU remember
something funny your kid said
whatever revelation God gave you for that day
how you feel
an exciting moment in your life
a great event that just took place that day
what made you smile today
what made you laugh (excluding the gym, or anything workout related) 
invites to your big events 
if your struggling
if your happy
if your sad
if your joyful
what your working towards (school, life, family)
what's making you smile
what's making you feel loved
major ACCOMPLISHMENTS in YOUR life
funny little quotes or things your doing..

but all in all....that's just me.....(again...all meant in humor)

let's not be so self indulged that we miss the point of such an awesome "connection" to people opportunity by tooting our own horn(s)

I care to know more about the genuine things of people......then their workout schedules....

but again...I'm am 

tHe iDiOt....
