Blogging and joining social networking sites are a no-no to many people. Reason? "I don't want to bare my soul in public."
Some netizens argue that one can bare only what he wants to bare. "Many of what one reads or sees in cyber photos are people's public persona, meant to impress, making them bigger than they really are. Their private lives are just a fraction of what they project, and sometimes totally different."
One active fashion blogger is actually an old grandma who looks nothing like the fashion plate her writings and photos reveal.
The persona of Jesus yesterday, today, and tomorrow had, has been and will always be the same. What our forefathers read in their Bibles is exactly the same as what we are reading today.
Readers may change, but Bible truths (whether in printed or e-book form) remain the same.
In the same manner, God’s grace draws no line. What was bestowed to our forefathers is the same grace offered to both non-netizens with a private persona and for netizens who weave an awesome public persona.
"But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted." Matthew 23:12

I pray we don't write to impress or glorify ourselves. I don't even have my own words, only His grace to write of His goodness and greatness.
My thoughts exactly. Whenever praises and applause tend to overwhelm, I pray for sanity and humility to bring me back to who I am--nothing without Him.
