This week is media week. That means no TV, no Facebook, no video games (sorry, Mario), no Pinterest, no internet, no nothing.
Except music.
Dawn and I agreed that the radio and our exercise playlists are not time-suckers or life - wasters and therefore will not be banned. In the event, though, that our music becomes an idol distracting us from God and the purpose of this chapter, then it too shall be forbidden.
I've been eagerly and fearfully waiting for this week. I am aware that my incessant Facebook stalking has become an addiction and needs to be stopped. Cold turkey. I realized today, the first day, how often I want to post clever, witty sayings on Facebook, or cute pictures of my son, or even my bicycle workout of the day. (I mean really, who is dying to know how many miles I cover on my bike each day?) So it obviously must stop. I can't whine that I don't have time for a personal bible study when I know I spend several 5-minute periods throughout the day listlessly scrolling through the FB news feed on my phone.
Well not today! And not this week! May the addiction recovery commence!
