Be Careful What You Post

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” –Proverbs 18:21

We all love FaceBook for the immediate access to our loved ones and friends. To be able to see pictures of our children and grandchildren is such a joy. To stay connected with friends and be able to share our lives and also keep up to date on their lives is a wonderful thing. I would not give up this connection. Used with good intentions it is a great thing.

There are the postings that makes us laugh, postings that make us think, postings that encourage us to help others, postings that make us count our blessings - but there are also the posts that offend.  The posts that are hurtful - intentional or not.

It is far too easy to get caught up in the moment. To allow our emotions to dictate and before you know it something has been said that you wish you had not said. Even if you take down the post after people react it is too late. The words were there, no matter how briefly, and their impact is undeniable. Posting in anger is not a good thing. Posting foul language should not be acceptable. We also need to think about the pictures we post (of ourselves and others) and make sure that they will not embarrass anyone (or cost someone their job).

We all need to stop and think before we post. Ask yourself if what you are about to say or post, is something you would if you took a few minutes to think about it. If not then it should not be done.

Use wisely and enjoy FaceBook!!

The Rock of Gibraltar

Image
On our way to El Puerto De Santa Maria, we made a detour to see the Rock of Gibraltar. If you have ever seen a Prudential Financial advertisement, you will recognize the Rock of Gibraltar which is their logo. The Rock of Gibraltar is a single large block of stone 426 m (1,398 ft) high. It is a limestone peninsula and mountainous rock that jets out of the end of the British territory at the southwestern tip of Europe. It is home to a network of caves, including the famous St. Michael’s Cave, which is open to the public. At the top of the Rock, visitors can enjoy amazing panoramic views of the surrounding area, including Morocco on a clear day. Seeing the Rock from below is quite a sight, however, taking a tour to the top tells a much bigger story of how impressive it truly is. We headed out in a small 6-passenger van to make the climb up to the top of the Rock. The road is quite narrow and winds back and forth along the edge of the Rock. For someone like me who is afraid o...
