Selfie culture

[creativemechanic]

It's it just me or has the rise in popularity  if taking selfies and the like given rise to a spirit  if vanity  among people.  Once where people took pics of things that looked interesting ,they now take pictures of their faces in front of whatever it is,so it's less of -hey look at that and more of -hey look at me . It's gotten a ridiculous I've seen people  attrocities such as....

1)take selfies after losing a baby,post it on Facebook with the comment of how they can't still  smiles ater whatvteyve gone through. 

2)take pictures  of themselves  at funerals. Tears are down their  face butthey still smile for the camera. 

3 take selfies during church during communion saying stuff like thank you Jesus  for saving me.

It's amazing . Face book should be called  look at me book now

It all comes down to cell phones and technology. Also " it is all about me" syndrome.

I don't care for the selfie culture, myself.  I don't have a Smart Phone, iPhone, Android, etc.   I categorically refuse to pay $500-$600 for a phone and then pay monthly charges that are almost as much as a car payment.   I have a flip phone.  I got it for $35 and I pay $24 a month for 1000 minutes.  It has a no internet capabilities and a camera that I never use.   I have no "apps."   I have no texting or anything.    I use it like a phone.  It rings, I answer it.  That's all I want or will ever need out of a phone.

Back in the late 90s early 2000s, at my neices graduation parties I was stunned.. STUNNED to see a doublewide garage walls filled completely with photos of my nieces faces....I like taking photos but the redundancy of hundreds of photos shook me to the core... They are narcassitic a thousand times over. But, pagans do what pagans do, none of them are saved so their focus is on themselves and this world. It's a tragedy happening the world over...

This has nothing to do with the selfies but the cell phone camera era. People are going into restaurants and taking pics of dirty bathrooms and bad food. Someone posted going into a McDonald's and getting a cheeseburger and the meat was raw. Not cooked. They took a picture of this....evidence. So that is a good thing. Someone else took a picture of an egg McMuffin with an egg shell in their sandwich.

Evidence? Of what the great crime of a real bit of eggshell in that egg like substance McD sells as food? I think I'd cherish the thought that  it might have actually been egg. 

Actually I take selfies often.- Don't mean to,  I wonder why are there pics of my feet on my "photo album"?  I especially wonder about the pics of my truck's  floor and steering column and  foot. 

I seldom talk on the phone anymore, I text mostly. It's like having my own telegraph office. Very convenient just like this message board is to so many of us. The smart phone is my portable office, so the smarter it is  the more efficient my office.

Yes the phone is  an expensive tool, but it is also a productive one. If I retire perhaps I'll go hide and just have a G I Joe flip phone- just can't do it now.

Wonder what the phones at heaven will be like?

Well, their is a difference in the texture of an egg and an egg shell. I am thinking there will not be phones in heaven. What would be the point?

I concede the point that there is a difference between an egg white and yolk, and  a shell, but what is that third thing the McD egglike substance?

Evidently there will be Iphone6's at heaven. Must be true it is on the internet _ Joan Rivers says she just bought one.   ( Look it up, I shouldn't  post the link because it also leads to other stuff that may or may not be suitable for this forum.)  Got curious and looked up that breakfast thing. Here is what snack girl states: http://snack-girl.com/snack/mcdonalds-egg-mcmuffin-healthy/ Somewhere in the list of stuff is egg.

Tough to pray  ..."for the nourishment of my body." over that. God is liable to say, really, really?

No there will be no cell phones in heaven. Joan Rivers was not a Christian. I would not have any trust in what she said.
