My parents dropped me off for the evening service at SBCC. The worship was being led by John Paul Lam on the keyboard, as he did last week. John Paul had visited SBCC before, about four years ago, when he was still a music major at Pepperdine (Pastor Gary’s alma mater). I still have the CD from that visit.Pastor Ken continued his series about a Soul Revolution, and how it’s difficult to see how something impacts us when we’re immersed in it. He suggested pulling out of something just for a month to see what kind of effect it has on us. He wasn’t saying whether it was good or bad, but just that we need the opportunity to see it objectively, just for once.
To see how it affects my life, I will be stepping away from Facebook for thirty days, just to see what kind of impact it has on my life. I think that it helps to stay in contact with others, but I need to see it from another point-of-view.
I imagine others will take the opportunity to win pillow fights, food flings, and water gun fights. Also, I won’t be able to make moves on Scrabble and Word Challenge. Plus, I won’t be sending stuff so that everyone else can catch-up.
So I’ll be off it from January 19 to February 17. I’ll probably increase my reading time, but don’t be surprised if I call out of the blue just to talk. Or IM from one of the other sites.
I really should step away from the PC for thirty days, but I may go into convulsions on the second day. Hmmm. Thirty days without a blog post ... something to think about.

Jim, I go into convulsions in less than hour when I'm away from the 'net.
Ok, good, I look forward to a phone call from you. I miss our talks.
I'd list the stuff that would make you go into convulsions, but I don't have enough time and it would take too much blog memory.
I'll call you soon.
