My addiction was ebay...more the ebay discussion pages. I could spend all day talking, discussing, and arguing with strangers. I haven't been on ebay for over a year. Last year we allowed our girls to open a myspace page, so I opened one up for myself to keep an eye on my girls. Nicole fixed up my page for me and it started all over again. I became somewhat addicted, this time the kids would make fun of me saying I was too old for myspace. My feelings would get hurt when I wasn't someone's top friends, especially my kiddos or my younger brother-in-law's top friends. We all want approval from others, but why is it so important?
Myspace got old for me really fast. I didn't care for the ads they post and I really didn't care the pictures some of the members post. I didn't understand all the different options. It wasn't something I needed to keep in touch with others. But wait....that didn't mean there wasn't something else lurking to tempt me....FACEBOOK.
Facebook has been fun. It allows communication with family and friends that would otherwise be impossible to achieve. It's easy to move around and post pictures. It's fun to see what everyone is doing and how everyone is feeling. I do limit my time I spend on Facebook otherwise I would be on it all day like I was on ebay.
I wonder if Jesus had a Facebook or Myspace would it be easier for us to communicate with Him? I am convinced that it would be easier because we have become a society of convenience and high tech. So if we can easily sit at the computer for hours, why can't I sit with Jesus for the same amount of time. Is it because I can't see Him face to face? Or our mind is easily distracted? What ever the reason, there is no good excuse.
What I like to do is to picture Jesus sitting right besides me when I am driving, on the computer, or even watching TV. When things get tough I picture myself in His arms crying my eyes out. I use my imagination and you know what...it works. I begin to feel great peace knowing that He is truly with me.Take time to talk to Jesus, sit with him, tell Him about your day. Share your feelings with Him, share your happy times and your sad times with Him. HE is waiting for you. You are in His top friends.

I do think Jesus would have some thing on facebook or the like. Why? People. He would go where his people are. But then again, he already is...they just want to see and feel his presence...as he is in the reflection of Mari:)
