Woman Gets Zero Likes on Facebook For Three Years, On Her Private Posts



San Fernando, CA

Beth Logan is relieved, but also a bit heartbroken after realizing that for three painstaking years of zero likes on any of her posts, she had been sharing everything privately to "Only me".  She was the only one who would have been able to see her own posts.

"For a great portion of the last three years I just wondered, 'Is it me? Could I be this out of tune with God?  Am I just unfriendly?  Is it my tone in how I write?'" Beth explained that she believed it all started back when she had made a post to save it for later.  She planned to revisit it, and just shared it as "Only me" so that nobody else could see it until it was ready.  "The post I wrote was about repentance, and sin.  I just figured that's when I lost all my followers, but I was determined to press on in faith."  What followed, was three years of complete and utter silence from any of her friends or family.  "I felt so alone.  Here I was, pouring my heart out into a world I know needed Christ, and I thought nobody cared."

Beth explained she would visit different coffee shops, often sitting down for hours talking to nobody in complete isolation, praying for the words to write in her posts, and asking God to give the increase as she shared what she had to say online exclusively over social media--namely, Facebook.  Then, time and time again after each thoroughly thought through post, zero likes.  "You can't imagine the anguish.  I felt a little bit like Job, and I took comfort in the ministry of Jeremiah, the weeping prophet.  I ordered so many coffees I didn't even really want, just for the hope of witnessing to the baristas at my local coffee shop who would friend me on Facebook.  My plan was to order enough coffees that they would become familiar with my name and face.  Then, I told them they did a great job and I invited them to be my friend on Facebook.  My plan was to be a witness from there.  Most of them accepted my friend request.  Not a single one of them ever liked anything I ever shared, however, and eventually I would just move on to a new coffee shop for a fresh round of the same plan."

When asked about the moment she discovered the private posting problem, she explained how much of a relief it was to finally get that first like.  "I couldn't believe it.  Facebook popped up this warning telling me about it, and I changed it on that very next post.  There was a lot of anxiety, because I thought this was the real deal.  This would be the true test.  People were actually going to see this one, and I was sick to my stomach wondering what the response would finally be.  Then, I actually got like 70 likes on the first post!  So many people said they thought I was never on Facebook, it was good to see me back, long time no see, and that sort of thing.  It was great to be missed and appreciated again.  I knew that God would do great things again through me over the Internet, and I returned to those old coffee shops once again to a staff of mostly entirely new faces to friend up with online so that I could finally share the Gospel with them.  It has been great!  My heart does hurt a little for those years lost, but I know He is in control."

Society That Condemns Decades Old Sins By Hollywood Actors And Public Representatives, Totally Convinced God Will Not Hold Their Own Sins Against Them From Long Ago

From Harvey Weinstein, to now Kevin Spacey, and of course our own current President of the United States, Donald Trump.  This is only a shortlist on a much longer one that spans throughout history of both Hollywood and public government officials whose sins have come back to haunt them.  Drawing public scorn, the backlash in these discoveries of such immoral behavior has threatened to end many careers; or at the very least, placing them squarely upon the unending scorn of the masses.  Many of these men and women will be fired, and/or blacklisted indefinitely or permanently by former friends, partners and supporters. Nevertheless, this very same society is hopeful that its own sins will not find them out when God judges.  When it comes time to stand before a truly holy Judge, a righteous God before Whom all is laid naked, before Whom even the very thoughts and intents of the heart are known--when it is their appointed time to die and to be judged by this all-kno...

Baptist Church Bringing the Canon of Holy Hymnal Into Question By Singing a New Song

Kendallville, IN A local church has a group of young people experimenting with "new things", and it has caused somewhat of a stir within the church at first.  They are looking to embrace, or create new songs that are not found within the church's sacred Hymnal texts. "It started as we were reading through some Psalms in one of our weekly Bible studies.  We were reading where it is written to 'sing a new song'.  It got us thinking if it were possible, just maybe there were some hymns we had never sung out of the hymnal in church before.  You know, a new song.  I was really hoping to find a couple pages stuck together or something, and so we all looked.  It was quite exciting at first, but as it turns out all of the songs had been very well covered, and there was therefore no new songs to sing.  It was then that we found ourselves in the proverbial spot of between a rock and a hard place.  It felt like we could either obey Scripture, or the ...

Local Man Sits During National Anthem Every Time Someone Does Something That Irritates Him

Tucson, AZ A brave local man is righteously indigent against injustice, and not going to take it anymore, standing up. Cut him off in traffic; sits during next national anthem. Disagree with him on Facebook; sits during next national anthem. Make fun of his tie; sits during next national anthem. Call him a mean name; sits during national anthem. There is literally no offense you could levy against Devin Johnson that would not result in him sitting during the national anthem. "I just suddenly realized that every offense against me personally is bigger than one person.  It's bigger than me, and it's bigger than them.  It's a systematic problem with the nation in which we both commonly call our home.  It just makes sense.  Injustice has existed for a long time, we all know that.  There seems to be no end to it, but what are we really doing about it?  The injustice that exists such that each offense against me personally is not suc...
