Today is Day One of Lent.  Waking up this morning and not being able to check the statuses of all my friends was strange, yet exhilarating.  It was a mind freeing experience of which I hadn’t felt in a while.

To be ‘socially’ unconnected from this device that feeds me information at the click of a button was nice.  Instead of reading status updates and writing morning messages on peoples walls, I prayed.  Prayed about my day, prayed for my family, and prayed for strength.

Throughout the day I found myself thinking about God more and more.  I found myself in a state of awakening or enlightenment to how I have been and the things in my life I need to change.  It was very odd.

More to come later…
