media fast - how it went
The Lent media fast went pretty well. It began with some initial struggle and as the habit took root it certainly gave me more time to pray and read. I went out to the open air to reflect and pray, and prayed more with my wife as well. I read three books and many short chapters here and there. I journalled and developed some sermon ideas. On the whole it was good. Closer to the end I got lax and sort of started to read the papers and caught some TV but that was okay as I am no perfectionist. I had to answer the e mails and I had to maintain and keep my blog spam free but on the whole I felt that I have achieved my goals and am satisfied I am not media-addicted though I realize more deeply its pervasiveness in modern living.
