I’m tempted to go on a social media fast during #Lent Actually, I’d love to just turn off my phone completely. It’s not the same as climbing up to a mountain top, however, I feel like it would accomplish many of the same things: namely silence and being cut off/separated from what’s going on in the world and society. It’s not just social media that distracts me from God. It’s also the constant influx of information and stimuli. Stepping away from that and into God’s presence would be good for me. The idea also scares me. Not because of I will almost certainly fail (I suck at keeping boundaries), but rather because of how far that implies I have wandered from God. Perhaps that is the best reason to attempt it. #disconnecting #offline #offgrid #analog
