Let me give you a little visual that led to me sitting down to write this article right now. On Saturday nights, I normally take maybe two or three minutes, go into a couple of pastor Facebook groups to share my latest blog article on another of my site and then go on to other things in my life. I’m not spamming, I look for posts on the specific topic I blogged about.

Hopefully, you can see the humor in it and we can take social media a little less serious in the day-to-day.
