I'm addicted to facebook (or stalkbook as my friends call it :)<BR/>God really challenge me on this reading your blog, for me I think facebook is worse than smoking coz it takes me away from my time with my family, and more importantly my time with God.<BR/>I don't think all people struggle with it to the extent I do though, but we all have different addictions. And thankfully we have a gracious God who can help us break them & uses us & loves us in the meantime!<BR/>Sorry this comment was so long :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17458726.post-53385453913141406282008-02-02T02:39:00.000+01:002008-02-02T02:39:00.000+01:00Amen brother!
