Today I decided that when I want to write a really ugly tweet back to a bully, I will post a recipe instead. Cooks, prepare your kitchens. Beth Moore
I’m not a particular fan of Beth Moore. I am not familiar with her teachings. I know lots of folks think she’s great. All I know is she is right on with today’s quote. If you spend any time on Facebook or Twitter, there are occasions when you must fight the urge to blast someone. There is so much stupidity. Folks you know who are mean, disruptive and who have actively worked to destroy a church, cry about how mean Christians are. Folks say things online they would never say in “public.” They post videos that should come with an “R” rating.
People who complain about hypocrisy in church, probably don’t spend much time online. You have to wonder about the parents who post pictures of their kids every day. Are they overcompensating for their horrible parenting? What about the person who posts poetry about their spouse? They probably spend most of their time in family court.
I am convinced that most of the political posters don’t even vote. What about the people who play games all day and brag about the completion of each new level? Get a life, and a don’t mean a game life.
I know it can be difficult to accurately communicate online. Yesterday I thought it would be good to mimic the great C. S. Lewis by posting a letter from Screwtape. Most people thought I had just copied one of the letters from the book. I wanted to cry out. I wrote this. Blame me if you don’t like it. Well, I guess I just did that.
In any case, I think Beth has a good idea. Instead of blasting stupidity, let’s just post recipes. I have a great sticky chicken recipe which you can expect to see soon. In the meantime, try to be an honest, non-hypocrite online. Please.
