One thought – you can use Firefox as a browser and use the Adblock plugin. It may not get everything, but it sure gets a lot.

dear goodly. Did I write this and forget? I'm sure I didn't… but I totally COULD HAVE. A little scary how you can describe ME with such accuracy. Like another commenter, I have very few local friends (ok, 1- the life's worth of relationships are in another country! waaa!) so I get needy and this is where it ends up .. but it is still not the answer. Bless you for fessin' up, Sister!
I'm working on this one too!!
What I heard the Lord say to me one day, "get off the bench and get in the game!"
D'Oh! Point taken…. : )

This is soooo me. The part where you talk about the Popper Car, especially. Thanks for saying it plainly.

You had me at #1. I've got a lot of thinking and hopefully repenting to do. Thanks to all for the eye openers!

Bingo. It's so easy to get wrapped up as the time ticks by. Thank you for sharing. And Amanda, your reply really hit home… I often give my kids the tired, cranky, "leftover" mom – and I think the guilt and conviction only fuel it more. I was thinking of starting a one-day-a-week break from technology, like web-free wednesday or something, and I'm sure God will use it to show me how much time I actually DO waste and how productive a real day can be when I'm not looking at a glowing screen!

Also, Mother Runner, I feel your pain. I'm also displaced with hardly any friends locally, so I enjoy using e-mails and facebook to connect with family & friends "back home."

I suppose it would be counter-productive to send friend requests to ya'll? LOL.

Now, to just back…away…from…the…computer!

Corina, thanks for sharing your number 2. I’m struggling with how to manage my type A personality, and how to allow God to use it as a blessing versus allowing Satan to use my control issues as a way to distract me from my purpose of glorifying God. It’s comforting to know that other people struggle with the ability to let go and let God.

Wow, great post again, Jon. Really hits home. I’m going to link to it from my blog; won’t be the first time, and likely won’t be the last I do that.
