Oh Facebook friends. I spent Friday morning weeding through them. Some made the cut and some did not.
I had a moment where I thought-do I really need to know the daily happening of all these people?
Seriously, how many facebook friends do we actually need?
As I was going through them, this quote kept playing in my head.
There is a reason that people in your past don’t make it into your future
~anonymous
That Anonymous is very wise. It sounds bad to say “I deleted people”, but that is what I did. Quiet a few – like almost ten. There were people that I never really spoke to and their posts were rubbing me the wrong way. There were people who were so far off on a different path that some of their posts had become offensive to me. And there were those people who I thought – the only reason he (or she) are in my friends list is because I am nosey. It was time to clean house.
Have you had a moment like that?
Please tell me I am not alone – have you ever said.
Yeah, I am friends with her. Well I mean we are friends on Facebook.
StrawberryTart! says, “If I annoy you on facebook you are allowed to delete me too…I fully understand.”
This post lead me to a book called The Church of Facebook. I haven’t read it yet, but I thought it fit with this post.
Yes Dana, there are still friends even if you don't have them on FB! I understand about offensive posts...you are a new person, with a renewed purpose and relationship with Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5:17
ReplyDeleteI just love that verse.
Anyway, my point is I end up just 'hiding' the person so I don't see their posts. Mainly it's my young nephews...so I won't delete them.
So, I think I will take a page from you and post on my FB that they are allowed to delete me and I won't be offended. I shouldn't worry if they don't like me anymore (as I sometimes do), they just want to play games...and have minimal interaction! :D ~MCF
