Faithbook

While most Christians would consider the Bible their Faithbook, some of us use Facebook as a Faithbook.
Indeed, thanks to some caring friends who saw on Facebook that I was faced with a cold winter outside, their warm hearts reached out to me last December and invited me into their lives.
So, Facebook isn't just a happy, happy talk social medium, it's a place where friends intersect with friends in a life-changing environment.
And in January Facebook served as the social intercourse for the Egyptian revolution which eventually deposed Mubarak.
A lady became so disenchanted she wrote on Facebook, "Meet me at Sahrir Square!"
Eventually over 100,000 Egyptians demonstrated their revolutionary zeal to oust the tyrannical Mubarak.
Facebook served as the intermediary meeting place for those who sought a revolution.
As we approach a new year when many resolve to change their lifestyles or lose weight or stop smoking or whatever grabs their fancy, Facebook may be an avenue of change.
But the tumult of 2011 in Egypt and all over the Middle East convoluted at Facebook.
Just because one desires a change doesn't necessarily mean declaring one's intentions in a social posting, actions speak louder than Facebook blather.
Facebook becomes Faithbook when we make resolutions revolutions.
