Losing Friends Because of My Opinions
Last week a friend I was close to for many years deleted me on social media without any warning or explanation. They were there one day and gone the next. Actually, this past week multiple people deleted me on my various social media platforms. Some of them people I hadn't seen or spoken to in a while, some of them, Bible study leaders or small group leaders that I sat under their teaching. I am not writing this to put a spotlight on any of these people. I am not writing this to point a finger at them. Or to get people to feel sorry for me. Me sharing my opinion on the Kavanaugh hearings was the last straw for a lot of people on my friends list because my timeline can feel a lot like an endless parade of opinion after opinion after opinion and I know that . I have actually been dealing with convictions about how I post the things I post. I have been asking myself for a few weeks now, "What's the part I am playing in their discomfort/sadness/anger/hurt?"
