Media Fast

I got the idea from some friends of mine in Ohio and also from a book I am currently reading to go on a media fast. A comment in the book I am reading said that a good way to tell if you are addicted to something is to try and do without for 30 days. So, tomorrow I will begin my media fast. Here are my guidelines:

1. No recreational computer use (blogging, reading blogs, Facebook, checking email just for the sake of checking email, instant messenger, Youtube, and games)
2. No mp3 player use
3. Limited tv watching (Since usually our family time consists of watching a movie or tv show, this one would be kind of hard to give up, so I am going to limit my tv to only family time watching.)

The goal of this fast is to get rid of some of the distractions in my life and focus more on my relationship with God. So..... this is my last post for 30 days. Maybe I will be more consistent in writing in my old-fashioned pen and paper journal since I won't be able to blog my experiences. Maybe I will blog some of my journal entries from my the fast at the end of 30 days. We'll see........
