Confession: I’ve never asked Sherwin-Williams.

Very Canadian of you. :)

Disappointing sports teams develop great character and perseverance in their fans...or is it great delusions and disillusionment?

From a media standpoint, I'm not a big fan of any team from New York or LA. This has made me a pretty miserable sports fan.

I have a couple of good friends in Canada...this forces me to be somewhat tolerant of the Toronto Blue Jays....somewhat.

I secretly brought a low-carb muffin into this coffee shop and now I'm inconspicuously eating it in the corner like a gangster.

I often have coffee with my dad after taking him to a doctor's appointment. He has influenced my spiritual development more than anyone else. He has never been on social media. I think about this truth often. Where is Jesus, and are we looking for him in the right places?

Many issues are both/and. For instance, I can believe my motivation to post every day about social media issues is because they are important, and I also might be motivated by having ADHD and the need to communicate the countless thoughts swirling through my mind. Our motivations are complex.

Saw a video the other day of a white man wearing a cross, flipping off protesters, yelling “God bless Trump.” It got worse. Pretty much sums up the soul of America.

Not much of a home-field advantage if your fans are booing you.

I’m sorry. May you find encouragement today and in the days to come.

Money ultimately motivates social media algorithms. The goal is to achieve sustained or increased usage to sell products and generate revenue. The topics are secondary to the reason most social media platforms exist. Money can quickly become the master we serve when we serve social media.

I think God's agenda for each of us is more complex and nuanced than responding to collective trending topics. Each of us has to find the best way to use our best energy for the work God has entrusted to our care.

Facial id not recognizing my morning face pretty much says it all.

How are you growing in the way you communicate online? I'd love to hear what you are working on to be a healthier communicator.

What or who sets the agenda of our lives is our master. #socialmedia
