Picture Perfect


               At church this past Sunday I                              At first the changes are very

        was involved in a skit titled                             little just adding a simple filter

        "Friends with Filters,” that was a                        until you now look perfect. Turns

        spoof from the popular tv sitcom,                         out others thought so too, and

        Friends.                                                  you get lots of likes from that.


               Our very own Pastor Rob                                   But now, feeling good about

        Martin wrote it and I believe he                          yourself and not giving it a second

        did an excellent job. If you'd like                       thought, you add a few more

        to read a copy of the script,                             changes to your picture not

        contact me and I can get it to you.                       realizing now you are getting

                                                                  further from the actual you.
               While thinking about the

        meaning behind the skit I realized                               However, your likes keep

        there was a really good point to it                       increasing. Wow people must

        that we all really need to get                            really like these changes, so you

        ahold of. It’s the simple, yet the                        take it a bit further and add some

        complex idea that we have to see                          captions that are your words.

        ourselves the way that God sees                                  Funny though those captions

        us and not be concerned with                              didn’t raise as many likes as what

        how others see us, or in this day                         you had expected they would.

        and age, how many likes our posts                         Starting to wonder what it was
        do or do not get.                                         that people would want to hear


               For instance, you post a                           from you now that you know


        picture of yourself and you don’t                         what they like to see, you add
        get that many likes. You start to                         some different captions to the

        wonder what it was that kept                              picture that actually no longer

        people from liking it, so you make                        portrays the person you really

        some changes to the post.                                 are.
