2 weeks vacation

I am writing this post 40 minutes late. I had made a commitment to start a fast at midnight tonight. I am fasting from my computer. I know that doesn't seem all that spiritual, but here is the deal...when i wake up, the first thing i do is check my email, when i come home from work - email...when i leave the house for any amount of time - email....i am always online with a chat program....i am always downloading the newest podcast, webcast, or streaming video from around the world. I am more connected to my mac than my wife or my pets, or God. So, i have prayed about this and have chosen to fast from the computer for two weeks. I am not checking email, signing online with a chat program, or mindlessly surfing the web for two weeks. I do have some obligations that cannot be neglected though: i can use the computer for school or ministry (small group) purposes only. So if you need to get ahold of me, please feel free to call. or if it can wait i will be back online as of midnight on the 28th. please pray for me during this time, i know that the temptation will be there to check my email (i am OCD about it). thanks and i will talk to all of you soon.
