Over the past months, I have come to realize the detrimental affect social media was having on my heart. The idea and practice of digital solitude became something that I craved. But, I made excuses for continuing with social media platforms. Social media had come to be something that I hated yet still interacted with. It was like passing a bad car crash. I couldn’t look away despite the soul deadening images and “conversations”. I have certainly become aware that the usefulness of social media was long gone from my life. Kinda like a ornery dog that has slipped it’s collar and has no intentions of sticking around. That dog only shows up to wreck the trashcans and crap in the yard. I think I have had enough with that beast. I very much want to search out the good life in faith, devotion, family and vocation. I am no longer concerned that I will miss out on what is going on in social medial. It is far better for me to be here and not missing what is in front of my nose.
