Hello my name is Josh Sommermeyer, and I’m… Addicted to Facebook
Let me roll this back a couple of months to Ash Wednesday 2017. Like many Christians I was debating as to what I might give up for Lent in some small symbolic gesture of the sacrifice that Christ made for us on the Cross of Calvary. Chocolate, adult beverages, TV, Netflix, sugar, coffee, and video games are all popular choices. However, this time around I chose to give up Facebook for the season of Lent. (Coffee? Seriously? I’m glad God has lots of grace, and doesn’t demand real sacrifice for Lent). On a great many levels I think worrying about what I give up for Lent is just plain silly. What am I going to give up that bears any comparison to what Christ did?
