I John 1:1-4
OPEN: On the way home from church a little girl who said, "Mom, I've been thinking."
The mother said, "Oh! About what?"
The girl replied, "Well, my teacher this morning said God is bigger than we are. Is that true?"
"Yes, that's true," the mother replied.
"He also said that God lives within us. Is that true too?"

These studies were conducted by Don Kluemper, of Northern Illinois University.
In one of these studies, he asked employers to give impressions of a candidate based solely on their Facebook page. They were to visit the Facebook page of prospective employees and then assign each person a score for qualities important to a good employee,
Six months later Kluemper went back to those companies to see how well the employer's first impressions ...
