My News Feed and my Heart

I took Facebook off of my phone yesterday.
It's almost not fun anymore to scroll through my news feed.
People want to argue about something. People want to sell you something. People want to stir something up for the sake of stirring it. And to me, it's like a train wreck - I watch it all in awe but I'm terribly disturbed by it.

Dude.
I just want to look at pictures of your family. I want to hear funny stuff about your kids or your latest adventures.
Really. That's it.

I love you all. Really. Like a ton.
And because of that my heart aches, literally aches, when I scroll through and all I see is hate and finger pointing.

I don't like conflict. For a country who demands tolerance, who claims injustices and who wants to end judgement... well, look at my Facebook news feed and let me know how that's working out.

So while Facebook and other social media cools off, I'll be over in my corner praying and grieving for a world that is stumbling.
