Times are changing

You know you've been MIA when you can't even remember the name of your own blog.

A friend once mentioned that I like to escape into a self imposed social exile. And he was right. I do enjoy reclusive life periods. One sometimes needs to get away and spend time pondering on purpose and other such important things.

Oh and by the way the blog url/name or whatever techno folks call it, well, it changed. I felt like this space needed more privacy without having to create restrictions that block everybody out. Since I had posted links on twitter and Facebook, an unnecessary amount of people had access here. Then it hit me! I don't work on television anymore. I have no desire to EVER work under such bright lights again. So therefore why expose my life to an audience I no longer get paid to entertain. It must also be said that social media can be quite addictive with it's lure of perfectly photo-shopped lives. Hours, yes hours, can go by while browsing and thinking that you need to have a life like so and so. Blogs can also be deceiving as often people think that the pretty pictures in these spaces define our lives. Not so. This is just a fraction of our moments on this mortal journey - life happens once I log off.

Social media can be create in you a false sense of the modern day "keeping up with the Jones's". Now it's not all negative, the plus is being able to maintain relationships with friends and family from around the world. Like everything in life, Internet communication should be handled with moderation. Too much of anything is no good, with the exception of the gospel of Jesus Christ. BOOM! What a wonderful thought huh. That's why I write, to help myself make sense of it all. It being life. And I love that it always leads back to Christ.

Back to the world wide wed, I'm still on Facebook and traded in an entertainment fan page, maxed out fb pages and about 50 thousand followers on all these sites for a private family Facebook with only a few folks we connect with. Folks we actually know. And so as a part of this self imposed social exile, those reading this are people who have randomly stumbled upon us or those dear friends, family and well wishers who add nothing but value into our lives.

We love you.
