Fasting from Media and Technology

On Sunday's during his current sermon series, Rev. Kent has been giving us a practice. The practice for this week is to fast one day from media and technology and spend time with God. That means, no phone, no Facebook, no Tweeting, no TV, no iPod, no iPad, no computer, no Word with Friends and no texting. All of this for 24 hours. As I sit here and look at the list, it sort of brings into focus, how much time I spend plugged in. Now part of it is my job, keeping the website updated, keeping things posted on Facebook, etc... but part of it is just how I am connecting with my friends and family. As I think about plugging in, I'm wondering if I need to be using more than one power source. Maybe I need to be spending just as much time plugging into God.

I have decided that tomorrow, Tuesday, March 13, 2012 is going to be my day to disconnect from the 120V and to connect to God. It's going to be an interesting journey. I know I can do it, but it really has been a long time since I've completely stepped away. Please pray for me, pray for rest, pray for patience, pray for comfort and pray for God to be present with me. I really am looking forward to this day. Stay tuned, I'll let you know how it goes. Blessings, brian

P.S. Don't call me, text me, message me tomorrow, I'm not answering. :-)
