Like many things in life, Facebook can be both helpful and hurtful depending on how you use it. How much time you devote to any website will help determine how healthy the relationship is, as sites like Myspace and Party Bingo should have already taught us. For me, one benefit to Facebook is that it allows me to easily connect with friends and family who live out of town.  We can share pictures, articles, and even play games together.  Another big benefit is that it allows me to connect with you, my readers!  I’ve loved the opportunity to pray for you about problems in your life, learn new coupon strategies from you, and just to interact!  I’ve read several good posts on the dangers of Facebook lately so instead of trying to put the articles into my own words and cite them as references I’ll just give you the articles I’ve read.
