"The free gift of God's love does not turn us into people who are passive. This love makes us alive with Christ (eph 2) and makes us able to dar to give our life for others." from Seeds of Trust written by the brothers at Taize.
Today is ash wednesday. Windy and Snowy and I don't think I will make it to a service today to get ashes on my forehead. American Tourist needs a break from her internet site-seeing and so she has decided to give up facebook for lent. She actually feels quite liberated-- the crazy impulse to check for text messages, email, facebook updates needs to be tempered. While she (kind of) wishes she could give up phones and email that would be just silly with her family stretched out across the US and important work/school things happening on the email. Facebook on the other hand is expendable. Stop the frenzy. The random people who show up in her dreams because she sees status updates on facebook. Her brain still is the size of the brain of great-great-grandmother who didn't bother with phones. Walked to the store to say hi to people and pick up breakfast.
