We're off to a running start on a beautiful Monday morning!!

You may be wondering what in the world today's thought path is about. If you're unfamiliar with WWF, it stands for Words With Friends. It's a game app where you can play a game of creating words that connect to other words. If you have 'real' friends, you can obviously play a game with them, but be warned. You may get a game request from a stranger. That can be OK, but player beware!
I went on this app quite some time ago to actually play the game. For a time it was perfectly fine and I had no issues.
Then one day I received a message from a man wanting to play a game of WWF. It seemed innocent at first, no big deal. But after a short time I was being asked questions of a sexual nature (too graphic for me to put here). I chalked it up as just a pervert and moved on.
Unfortunately, it kept happening. I know I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I'm not completely stupid. It dawned on me that WWF has become nothing more than a meat market, and I was quite taken aback.
Now granted, I've not done a lot of things in my lifetime. I've led a fairly sheltered lifestyle, so I've always been a trusting soul giving people the benefit of the doubt. I'm learning, as I get older, that I just can't always do that. There are trolls and perverts out there who are looking for a hook-up. They don't care whether you're in a committed relationship or not.
Realizing this makes me so sad. So I urge you, that if you're going to play any app games that involve other players who are strangers to you, player beware!! It's easy to start an innocent conversation that can turn into a nightmare. If you don't know the person, either block them or don't respond to their messages.
I had one guy that started a game, messaged me and when I didn't respond, he ended the game. He was obviously there for a hook-up and NOT a game of WWF.
ALWAYS be aware of your surroundings, whether in person or online. It CAN save your life!
I pray that you're healthy, happy, safe and I pray that you have PEACE in your life!
Love,
