This book idea ROCKS! I have a really bad habit of being on my phone while I drive. Like, I could read a whole article while driving down the street. It's no bueno. Sometimes I don't even remember the drive because I was so distracted by my phone. I realize that not only do I put myself in danger but most importantly, I put other people in danger.
That being said, I set out today to not use my phone at all in the car. It was hard because we are such a society on the go. I kept thinking that in the 5-10 minute drive, that someone was going to get offended because I didn't answer their text or that they would think I had died...There were a lot of things I wanted to google or look up on facebook while I was driving and I just prayed that if it was that important, would God send it back to my memory so that I could check is later. There were a lot of things I didn't remember and I'm not mad about it! When I wanted to text someone or call them or send them a picture, as cheesy as it may sound, I just prayed for them instead and waited until I got parked somewhere to contact them.
POWER UP: (Through out the process, I am going to challenge myself to go a little bit deeper, a little bit farther.) I also went most of the day without the radio on in my car. It gave me a lot of time to think about things and notice what was going on around me.
This is going to be a great adventure! I can't wait to thumb through this book and find the next challenge for tomorrow! I hope that you can take some of these things ad practice them in your own life. Maybe, hopefully some of them will stick with me. We can't just evangelize on the digital continent without losing touch with reality. Technology is a great tool but the most important tool is the human heart. Stay savvy friends!
