Ever since I wrote silence I have thought more and more about the subject. It came to mind to try an experiment, to go a week without media. “Great Idea” I thought, “it wouldn’t be that tough, might be kind of nice. I might actually get something done instead of sitting and watching TV all evening.” The more I thought about it though the more I resisted the idea. Why? Well, it seems that I’m even more afraid of silence than I originally thought. Somehow a whole week without media is daunting (strange since the first 18 years of my life were not very media filled. Guess I’ve made up for lost time). My day is so media filled that I’m not sure what I’ll do with my time (not that I don’t have a long To Do list, I just usually have noise while I work). Mostly I think I’m afraid of what God might say to me. It’s easy to tune Him out when there is lots of noise, less so in silence.
So here’s my resolution. To go a week without media. No TV, no radio or iPod, no computer (except at work for work purposes, don’t think I could get away with saying I couldn’t use the computer there). Then next Monday (Memorial Day) I’ll head to the beach for the day and reflect on how it all went.
See y’all on the flip side.
