Mobile Ministry Magazine

I was speaking with some friends of mine a while back about eating and the curch community, and one of their observations was that there were a lot of overweight church members. And even beyond that, every fellowship included eating in some kind of way. Almost as if eating a lot was a great thing.

In the same fashion, I look at being connected as something that if not checked, can lead to some dire consequences. Check out this story about a person who died basically because they spent too much time (continuosly) at playing a video game. In some way or form, this person lost all sense of their wellness and decided that the game was more important than his own well being.

I find that for myself, that I need to mandate those times when I am not online. I spend a great deal of my workday online, and so when I get home I try to make sure that I am online as little as possible. Aside from MMM, Bible+, and Holy Culture Radio, my time online at home is spent checking and replying to email (two hours to those tasks max). I do realize that ministry has graned me this online arena, but if I dont develop offline, then I risk gluttonly at the hands of the net.

Just a little something to think about on this Hump-day. Gotta get over the hump by putting down those things that could drag us backwards over the wrong edge right?
