So, apparently, my Facebook account is suffering from "overboard-itis"; it's a contagious disease that begins to spread when your friends want to know what kind of fruit, season, car, snowflake, smile or toothpaste you are (i exaggerated on some of that....slightly). Before you know it, your account begins to look like a used car lot.....too much junk and not alot of good quality. One of my friends from ACU, Garrett, put it best...."it looks like Facebook threw up on your profile". And, he was right. In the best interest of trying to find out useless information about myself, my Facebook profile had become a mine field of arrows, quotes, hugs, pillow fights, flying snowballs and random gifts.

Have I become a Facebook pack rat? Afraid to get rid of things because I may need to refer to someone's message, gift, superpoke, funwall or vegetable comparison? Now, I don't consider myself to be obsessive-compulsive (you should see my office) but I am very uncomfortable in random messes. I could give this to God but I think God would show me an example of, "God helps those who help themselves....take some time and clean your mess up". So, yesterday I went through and got rid of things that I knew I wouldn't refer to and even removed some friends that I really haven't talked to or had deep relationship with except on their birthday. In the midst of trying to keep things simple in life, work and church, I'm finding that it's best to keep things simple on Facebook as well.

Now, excuse me while I throw some snowballs at people...it is February in Tennessee after all!
