Are We Getting Too Lazy Mentally ?

Now that I've been on the internet a number of years I am totally convinced that our education system needs to stress "source finding" and discernment , regarding real facts and internet viral un - truths , from kindergarten to the end of post secondary. I find it discouraging, even depressing that so many people don't care if what they just said to 500 "friends" is really factual or not. The comments on You Tube is a place I need to avoid if I want to have any hope in our future as civilised people.
Am I the only one ?

Blog Me

There's been many times I've had things to say be it spiritual,social, political,or just micellaneous rambling and I needed a place to vent these thoughts. Comments would be great . I'm laid off from work and have much more time to waste on the computer. This first blog deals with nothing.I'm simply trying to see how it works.

Tested Faith

"Our faith is not really tested until God asks us to bear what seems unbearable, do what seems unreasonable, and expect what seems impossible." Warren Wiersbe 1. Bear what seems unbearable- We will all reach a point in life where a loss or a fear seems like too much to take on our own. Psalm 68:19 "Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens." 2Corinthians 12:9 "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." 2. Do wha...

The media is the tail wagging the dog So, do people really care this much about the football player and his wife or is the media just feeding it to us. Talk shows determine what the topic will be. Editors decide what the headlines are. They don't ask us whats on our minds. People who believe the media reflects society's interest, and not there own, are just right out to lunch. Nobody cares about the three elderly nuns who were raped and murdered last week in Burundi or maybe a follow - up on the oil spills that "destroyed the planet" a few years ago. We're all just waiting to hear another opinion on the football player and his wife? Don't get me wrong. The story does not completely lack newsworthiness, but how many people does it take to tell such a simple little story when there is all kinds of other things happening that are important.
