Liberty through Limitations :: why I’m limiting my facebook time
When I posted my goals for January, I got several comments and questions about my facebook goal. The funny thing is – nobody asked my why I was limiting my facebook time to 15 minutes a day. They just asked me how. For the past few months, I’ve wanted to ‘cut back’ on my facebook time. There were…

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and…
