One day, not long ago, I shared a post on my social media while in a sleep deprived and funky state of mind... The results weren't great.
I joked about a web site supposedly misquoting 1 Timothy 4:12 as saying “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”
A kind friend of mine gently probed to verify facts and I quickly deleted the post in shame... Realizing the quote was correct and I had read the next verse by mistake.
In hindsight, I wish I had shared the lesson I learned then, instead of deleting the post! It's something I believe many of us could benefit from considering.
We all make mistakes and the irony of this one wasn't lost on me... I wasn't setting the best example and in fact I only succeeded in showing my infancy in biblical experience.
The cool thing about this is I learned another valuable lesson here: don't post on social media when you've had less than 4 hours to sleep!
-laughing at myself sure makes life more bearable!
