I just love facebook. I love being able to share pictures with friends and family. I love keeping track of my favorite tv shows, authors, and other interests. I simply adore writing notes rather than creating endless email forwards of the same things. But what I enjoy most of all is keeping in touch with friends. It's quite exciting finding people you used to know and hearing how their lives have changed in the last 10-20 years. And when you find one friend, you get to see who all they are friends with and "friend" those people too. I will admit though, it is somewhat odd becoming facebook friends with people I went to school with but rarely spoke too, and now it's all "Oh my goodness! It's you! How are you? It's so good to see you!" It's kind of amusing. I'm enjoying it though. I realize that people grow and change, and if I had known most of my current friends in high school, I doubt we would have been that close either. When Will and I got married, I wanted a completely fresh start, and I pretty much severed any ties I had to my "old" life. I finally feel like I'm at a place in my life where I can go back and say it wasn't all bad. Thankfully, the technology is there to be able to do that now. What's funny is that one of the people I found lives within a few miles of me. Weird.
I saw a sign on someone's car recently that said "life is good." It made me start thinking: Life sucks. God is good. Not that I haven't been incredibly blessed by a loving husband, great kids, and amazing friends, but "life" didn't do that, God did. All this world has to offer is pain, which reminds me of CS Lewis' quote, "The pain now is part of the happiness then." If it weren't for all the sorrow we experience, heaven might not be as sweet. I know we'd be much more hesitant to leave this world and step into the next.
So. God is good. Live like it.
