I'm starting a new series on the blog called, "What Does Your _____ Say About You?" I'm going to highlight some of the things we may not think about when we consider communication. However, this is especially important as we consider what kind of Christain example we are as we go through our day. Here is an article I wrote a while back for Examiner.com. So...What does your Facebook Page Say About You? Are You a Good Christian Example on Facebook?

Is there a corrolation between highly creative or highly intelligent people and madness?
