I'm back on Facebook now that Lent is past, but my time away from it has given me a resolve to exert my agency over it rather than be subjected to its power over me.
I've decided to post positive things that might influence, encourage, and challenge others. Now, I've been doing that over the last few years (hopefully), but I'm spurred on to keep doing it with joy. A friend of mine responded to the post I put up on Saturday (see what I wrote for "Saturday Morning") and ended up sharing about her experiences as a female pastor in the last few years. I think she really needed to read my public statement--I didn't know it at the time, but perhaps it was an act of solidarity for her situation.
So, rather than simply avoiding Facebook out of fear that it will suck me into its grip, I'd like to tackle it face-on, and to see it as a platform for sharing radical love and truth in a world saturated with information and opinions.
Let's see how it goes!
