Keith’s comment on the previous post was timely, since I was coming over here to post a few quotes I’ve run across recently:
“Your job is the relentless pursuit of who God has made you to be. And anything else you do is sin and you need to repent of it.” –Rob Bell, Velvet Elvis
“We will all be held accountable for every permissible pleasure we willfully rejected.” –the Talmud by way of Barbara Brown Taylor
“If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” –E.B. White

Hey,
I just finished a series on Rob’s book “Velvet Elvis” that I think you’d enjoy at:

love these quotes and wishing I’d bought the Velvet Elvis in time to do the book discussion. Every quote I read challenges me in a good way.
just sayin’
In that I know you are experimenting with less time on the computer and yet I know you enjoy the community and have intentionally invited others within the time frame of the experiment to come read this blog (and maybe add comments that you will have to read within your one hour timeframe) I think your experiment predicament is similar to E.B. White’s predicament with the world.
