Help with ...

As part of my morning prayers, I list several requests for help as part of the intentions with one prayer. Some of the ones involving my own flawed nature are for help with my "bitterness, anger, sarcasm, and argumentativeness."

Those tendencies in me lead me to being unkind, to saying hurtful things, and to pushing people away. I sometimes stray into sin.

Social media makes it so easy to vent those things. In that sense Twitter and Facebook might be considered near occasions of sin.

I need Facebook because of things I do there to link with others, and a couple of pages I run. Twitter is a quick way to find out news.

But I could certainly cut back on my reading and posting. That time can be better spent elsewhere.

Pax et bonum
