One of my leaders sent me this article in reference to the "unplugged" week that the high school ministry and myself went through a week ago. It describes how 68% of our society experience anciety when they are disconnected. Wow. I would have been in that group. Going unplugged certainly made me aware of some of my own dependencies and ways that I waste time. It was fun listening to what some of the students had to say. If I am honest...I am thankful to have my music back. I really love the tunes, and spent some time thanking God for the gift of music.
This unplugged idea has caught on with some of our staff members who are taking holy week and unplugging. Josh - Thanks for the kind words and I am excited for what this week has in store for you! Because of his blog - this unplugged idea has gone global. How cool!
For me, I am going to take the later half of this week and unplug again to set my mind on the story of the Passion. I hope you join me in reflecting on the Savior, His Love, His Passion for His Father.
