Twitter Follow Me Bird

I read a where a social media guru recently said something to the effect of, “there are two types of people involved in social media, those who want more followers and those who are lying about it.” With the advent of social media, there is a danger in finding our validation in follower counts.

The Abolition of Man

C. S. Lewis on educators

For famished nature will be avenged and a hard heart is no infallible protection against a soft head.

Paths of Righteousness for His Name’s Sake
