Our screen-free week ended eight days ago, but I’m only now getting on here to reflect on it. Considering how it went, that seems appropriate.
For once, it seems right to be late…

Media fast
Every now and then, our family takes a week off from TV.
It’s not a major sacrifice. We don’t have cable or satellite and barely ever watch broadcast channels. For years, we relied on Netflix, but we’ve even cut that. We have DVDs and occasionally borrow something from the library or a Redbox machine. We play a lot of Mario Kart Wii as a family. Nothing we watch has commercials, so on the rare occasions when we see one, we’re almost a bit confused by the interruption. Even so, we sometimes plop down more by habit than by choice.

Remembering His faithfulness
One of my favorite heroes growing up was Indiana Jones. With a cool hat, a calm demeanor, and a cockeyed grin, he always showed faith that things would work out in the end. I loved the part in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade when he took the leap of faith, stepping into what he believed was an abyss only to discover that a way across had been there all along.
It’s a good reminder to Tracy and me as we follow God’s call to serve Him and those around us, now and when we get to Cape Town. It’s important to have faith in His providence for what lies ahead and to strengthen that faith by remembering times He has provided for our needs in the past.
Three reminders came to us last week. Continue reading →
