This past week we spent some time in Colorado. It made the media fast seem pretty simple, for the most part. We didn't stick as hard and fast to the media fast while we were on the road. The kids watched Tim Hawkins comedy DVD's on the drive and we listened to and sang along with some worship music. The trip out was great. The hike was long and hard but rewarding.
When we returned to the hotel we did watch some TV. After 9 hours of hiking, I wasn't going to complain. We were just exhausted and wanted to unwind with some fun. So we watched Cake Boss before bed. I didn't feel guilty. As I told my husband - there aren't any rules with this fast. The point is that we are unplugging from media most of the time and engaging with each other and our Savior.
Now, the next two weeks I think will be more difficult for me. We will be home without any big plans or preparation for any big trips. That is when I'm more likely to be tempted to sit down and watch some cooking shows on Create TV. So, I will game plan this weekend and have some projects, prayers, and books ready to go for my time after work.
