Now that I am back, I am trying to be conscious about taking care of my family and house before logging on. Some days it's easier than others!<br /><br />And good for you for cleaning out your pantry! I have to tell you, throwing out five things a week has totally become addicting - be warned! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999930258339428520.post-15370316457065569322011-01-11T15:52:12.349-05:002011-01-11T15:52:12.349-05:00Our church has had a media fast (usually October o...Our church has had a media fast (usually October or November) where we abstained from tv, computer, texting, etc. for an entire month. Some radio and newspaper was allowed to enable folks to stay in touch with what was happening in the community and world. One movie per week was also allowed as long as you didn't watch it by yourself as a way of encouraging fellowship. This wasn't mandatory, of course. But for those who participated, the experience was remarkable...the more we tuned out the wordly devices, the more we tuned into God.Lolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02004538184121770360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999930258339428520.post-73786522064091028912011-01-11T10:57:42.995-05:002011-01-11T10:57:42.995-05:00I haven't done a complete fast, but I TRY ever...I haven't done a complete fast, but I TRY every Sunday to take a day of rest, including from internet leisure. And I'm forcing myself to shut down the computer when I'm really not doing anything specific (surfing around, checking email and facebook for the zillionth time). I've found I now actually have reading time again <br />:-D<br /><br />Thanks for the encouragement, Joanne :-)Sarah Elisabethhttp://www.sarahelisabethwrites.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999930258339428520.post-29661118853812562682011-01-11T08:51:28.138-05:002011-01-11T08:51:28.138-05:00Ahhh, great to hear it went well. :) You've co...Ahhh, great to hear it went well. :) You've convinced, I mean INSPIRED, me to do a similar thing. No Blackberry and no computer... whatever will I do for a whole day? Laundry? Pantry organization?
