Blogging... about a Media Fast?

Thats right, but the fast is over so i am allowed to be on here again. Me and some of my students who are known as Covenant group meet every Thursday morning at 6:15 to dig deeper into scripture and attempt to get closer to God by doing what the scriptures tell us to do. I decided the day of reckoning was near and it was time for them to embark on a Media Fast that would last only 7 days. This would include no texting, no internet, no television, no video games, no secular books, and no movies.

As the days dragged on i found myself realizing that i was getting grumpier day by day and it was because even though i had cut out the things that usually hinder me from meeting with God, i still wasnt pursuing Him. So i picked up my bible and flipped to... Leviticus... woohoo! I leanred about rest and sabbath and how it is an act not only ordained by God but set as an example by Him and His Son. By the end of the week the fasts were easier, and more enjoyable, i finished 2 books and had a quiet time everyday. When is the last time i have done that in 7 days? Never? Anyway, i am back on and kicking...
