Get Real: Choosing to Un-friend People on Facebook
Last week a simple glance at my Facebook news feed gave me a headache from what seemed to be an endless amount of drama and/ or trouble from people who seem to enjoy and feed off of it. At times I just want to vomit from all the narcissistic nagging, the whoah-is-me pity partiers, and the …

Girl Talk: Modesty – Speech and Conduct
To be honest this article was even harder for me to write than the one about clothing, so here it goes… Modesty in speech and conduct is about being gentle and kind, humble and decent; Christ-like. “That’s what she said!” This famous line gets everyone laughing.

Distractions from Facebook: Making Facebook work for THE Cause, not a distraction from it!
