"We need to quit trying to be awesome and instead be wise." These words from Jen Hatmaker, in her book
For the Love, really hit home for me–especially in regards to the online world. I may be a little more immersed in this social media world than some of you, but for others, I am behind the times with all the new platforms that exist. I'm not on Snapchat or Periscope even though as a blogger I'm "supposed to be." I am freaked out for my children who will have to navigate real life alongside this online one over the years to come–thankfully we didn't have this whole other dimension to deal with when
we were growing up. Don't get me wrong, I love the communities that I have become part of, the people I've met, the information I've learned, and the support I've felt, but, do these positives outweigh the negatives? What are the long term implications to being so active in an online world?
