Watch how you use your time!
(I hope this topic only applies to a very few of us, but just in case ...)
I've SLOWLY come to notice that I am wasting far too much time sitting at the computer, mostly defending the faith -- all the while trying to avoid the prideful tendency to want to win an argument rather than simply saying what I feel needs to be said.
After Mass today I exchanged a few sentences with an acquaintance (who is becoming a friend, possibly). We agreed that much time spent online is nothing but a distraction from what really matters: our spiritual growth.
What I feel I ought to be doing is spending at least the same amount of time in prayer as I do debating strangers on Facebook. I have learned to try not to watch too many controversial videos, but some of these political things in Canada ... well it gets tough.
My caution: pay more attention to prayer and spiritual reading (even if you are reading online) than you do on debating strangers, or just allowing yourself to get upset, on the computer.
Dominus vobiscum, Reg
