Okay....I'm cruising Facebook ....and see a notification.
A friend of mine has "friended" our clergyman.
Wow ...my clergyman has just joined Facebook?
This made me pause.....are you supposed to friend your rabbi, pastor, priest or imam?
If you don't....are you....not kosher/righteous/catholic/holy or just plain rude?
What if you're not always good or post pictures which proffer anatomical parts of your body not suited for the monthly bulletin?
Is he my friend friend? or just a friend? or just someone I'm friendly with?
Would it be weird if he saw my post from last night....touting my fresh clean sheets and blankets on my bed ?
I'm not embarrassed to have blankets or clean sheets ...but still....there's something a bit odd about my clergyman knowing I'm just plain human....just like it would be odd if he posted that he was happy he had clean sheets and blankets before bed time. My clergyman sleeps? with blankets and sheets? (and even his wife!)
So I haven't friended him ....yet...yet?
And I'm waiting to see who does and who doesn't.
Perhaps he joined up to keep in touch with congregants that have moved away....friends he had....fellow scholars....not the folks he sees every week.
Well at least there are some things on Facebook I'm not confused about.....
so so wrong....
we all need some breathing space.....even from our moms .....or in some cases....especially from our moms.
