Chasing Elephants While Refraining From Social Networking

Wow. I am amazed at myself with how truly addicted to Facebook I have become. I sat down at my computer to look up a few things on the internet, and before I even realized what I was doing, I had already taken my computer to Facebook.com, instinctively typed in my login without thought, and was about to start typing in my password before I even realized what I was doing. That is pretty bad. My mind didn't even have to tell me to go sign into Facebook, my body just did it. 

I am glad that I have been talked into giving up the social networking realm for one day a week. Hopefully after getting used to being away from it for a whole day, I can add another day of freedom to that, and so on and so forth. 

 As for today... In place of living out my socialization through artificial means, I have instead watched a few episodes of television on Netflix. I'm not sure trading one evil for another was exactly my plan, but so far today, that is what happened. I am planning on spending some time reading, which I love to do but can never seem to find a lot of time to do it. The book I am currently reading is "Chasing Elephants: Wrestling with the gray areas of life" by Brent Crowe. I happened to open the book while just flipping through it, to a section about none other than, wait for it............ SOCIAL NETWORKING. I must say, I have been run over by the "How more obvious can I make this for you?" truck, driven by none other that the Great I AM himself. 

So this afternoon, I will be reading about social networking, while NOT social networking. :)
