Top Ten Signs You Should’ve Given up Social Networking for Lent

1. You think ‘news feed’ is a legitimate source of news and you spend more time reading it than actually feeding yourself.
2. You use your cell-phone to ‘check-in’ so often that you’ve forgotten it’s also a telephone.
3. You think ‘send friend request’ is a great way to meet new people.
4. You wonder about how to follow Jesus if he’s not on Twitter and doesn’t blog.
5. [#5 has been removed at the request of readers to allow a moment to check facebook. This list will resume at #6 momentarily]
6. You update your status more often than you empty your bowel and you think your cell-phone is ‘smart’ because it allows you to do both at once.
7. You used to workout, now you just Photoshop your profile pic.
8. You think ‘unlike’ is an unspeakably severe form of condemnation: ‘God loves the sinner but unlikes the sin.
9. You can’t even imagine going forty days without online social networking. Right now the thought is making you irritable, nauseous, clammy, and defensive. You just impulsively quit reading this to accept a friend request from a complete stranger.
10. This list has made you decide to ‘unfriend’ me for posting it.
