Four Friends’ Photo Folly

Over the weekend, in the course of keeping up with a bunch of friends online, I saw four friends’ photos that left me dismayed, if not desilusionado.

You wonder who they are? 🙄

For the purposes of this post, their identity doesn’t matter.

You wonder where I saw them?

Online, I said. You know, places like Facebook and Twitter, G+ and blogs.

Two of those photos I found revolting.
Another made me wonder about her naiveté in offering up such an innocently enticing (or enticingly innocent) pose of herself.
Two were the kind that make me marvel again at how cheaply some gals must value their God-given physical…ah…well, you know what I mean.
One left me scratching my head (though only figuratively, you understand) that the person would actually post such a contrary-witness-for-a-Christian photo.
At least three caused me to ponder (briefly, I’ll admit) the matter of shamelessness and the unashamed flaunting of such shamelessness.

OK, I know those all appear to total more than four, but they doesn’t. 😀

Anyway, what are my purposes in posting this?

Challenge you (as I have been) to give sufficient wise thought to personal photos we post online.
Encourage us to check to see if any photos we’ve posted online might be one of the four triggering this post.
Remind me and you that photos we consider harmless may well be deleterious.
Tweak those who read what I write or hear what I say . . . and jump to the conclusion I’m talking about them. 😆
Invite your critique of any photos I post online. (See #3 above.)

Regarding #4, if you want to ask me if I’m talking about your photo, go right ahead. You might be surprised at the answer. 😉

I close assuring you of these four things:

Oh. Do I plan to contact any of these friends privately about my observations? They will know . . . and you likely won’t. 😮

(If you were in my shoes, would you broach this subject to your friends?)
