Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord.  Hebrews 12:14


Outside of the "Yacht Rock Revue: Anchorheads" and my private music group, "Heady Wax Fiends', I have really become disenchanted with most of social media and certainly with the national news over the past few years.  I am sure that people have always posted negative comments on Facebook since its inception, but it rubs me the wrong way when I read all of the negative comments, self-absorbed posts, and other 'crap' that people post, which truly should never have been repeated out loud in the first place.  I am especially weary of politics, political discussions and feel that it has sadly torn our country apart and divided people more than ever before.

I am convinced that most people wouldn't say half of the 'junk' that they are willing to write online if they were standing face to face with other people. This happens quite often at work now that most people rely on email as their primary source of communication....passive aggressive behavior is alive and well, folks! 

I don’t have any control over what others do and can only be held accountable for the things that I write or post.  After reading the above passage from Hebrews, I am reminded of all of the mercy and grace God has shown me over the course of my lifetime.

As Christians, we are to pursue holiness, which means that we are to do our very best to treat others with the same mercy and unconditional love that God has shown us.

It's hard, but we must seek God's guidance the next time we are feeling confrontational or short-fused.  The more we understand what our loving Father has done for us, the more we will want to live the holy life He desires for us to live.

Not including my music groups (and occasionally Pokémon Go communities), I have really become disenchanted with most of social media and certainly the news in recent years.  I am sure that people have always posted negative comments on Facebook since its inception, but it rubs me the wrong way when I read all of the negative comments, self-absorbed posts, and other 'crap' that people post, which truly should never have been repeated out loud in the first place.  I am weary of politics, political discussions and feel that it has torn our country apart.
