Redeeming the Time, or Get Off the Computer

Joshua Harris has a good post My One and Only Week on Facebook in which he gives several reasons for his ditching the famed socialization portal:

  1. “I don’t need another reason for staring at a computer screen.”
  2. “I found that it encouraged me to think about me even more than I already do…I need to grow in self-forgetfulness. I need to worry more about what God is thinking of me. I need to be preoccupied with what he’s written in his word, not what somebody just wrote on my ‘wall.’”
  3. “And, finally, I need to read more.”

Computers can be a double sin (if there’s such a thing): creating opportunity for sin and keeping one from more profitable things.

Have many books could I have read with all the time I’ve wasted on my laptop?
