Christian Buzz Word Overkill.

Sigh. Perhaps I'm just a little punchy after back-to-back day shifts but I have another astoundingly cynical observation to make.

Just so you know, if you include more than 3 Christian/churchy cliches or buzzwords in your Facebook update, I'm over it. Can't even finish the update to the end. No joke, I came across one today that had 5 of them. FIVE!!!

The cynic in me just doesn't see the need to be so... effusive. I'm all for giving all glory to God and it's more than due. But excessive combinations and wordings of things like, "brother/sister of the faith" and "example of Christ's love" don't come across as glory to me. It comes across as trying to sound super duper Christian-y and pious.

One or two? Awesome! In the spirit of things, Praise the Lord (or if you're into murdering the written English language- PTL)! But more than that? I think you're compensating for something. Say it, but don't go on and on and on. Because usually, you're not making sense because you're trying to force multiple cliches into one cohesive thought.

So in conclusion, I am not mocking your praise unto the Lord. I am appalled at your abhorrent sentence construction and wordiness. It exhausts me.

Crap, I need to sleep.

Again, you're my favorite.

your post explains why a certain relative is hidden, and why another isn't a fb friend at all.
