D&C 89.5:22

I think that if the 89th section of the Doctarine and Covenants was written today instead of in 1833 it would be the same, but it would contain a verse something like this:

"Yea, facebook and all other sorts of social media are ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly"

I recently took a break from facebook and have now come to the conclusion facebook isn't as bad as I once thought it was.

When I was in college I used facebook way too much. Realizing such, when I left college I took a break from facebook and have consequently alienated myself from all my friends in the process.

It took a two year "facebook fast" to realize that it isn't evil, it is an excellent way to stay connected.

Jessie was playing a trivia game the other day generated by facebook, asking her questions about her friends.

She asked me if I wanted to log onto my facebook and play and I abruptly said "no, I don't have any friends."

Well that was a lie, I DO have friends, I just have NO CLUE what they have been up to because I quit using facebook.

I think back to how people "back in the day" kept in contact with each other and it is daunting.

If I can't keep up with my friends and I have something like facebook, how on earth did people do it with snail mail and long distance fees?

I should be grateful for the tool that facebook is and get over my proud "I don't use facebook" ways!

I just need to remember to use it sparingly.
