I am Helen, commenting...I am not really anonymous. I am Helen, commenting under anonymous for the usual reasons.<BR/>Hi everyone. Yeah. First Beth made me think a little with her fast. Then Jon's post made me think even more. Then I posted a comment where I mused that Jon should lead a fast, which someeone didn't like at all but which Stacy S. responded to positively via email with a "let's do this!". Then I wrote a comment on Beth's post. For some reason, I went back and saw Katdish's comment, and then said, time to post already.<BR/>It seems the Holy Spirit is telling us something. He may not be whispering "Wednesday" in all of our ears, but He is saying to watch our balance. Like I said in my post, all of us nonposting the same day would make it less tempting to those of us fasting on Wednesday, but that is not your responsibility. I am thinking of Beth, who sort of started this line of thought for me, and she doesn't even know it yet because she is fasting. It's not llke I stopped posting. I can't expect others to.<BR/>I am not sure who Anonymous is, but she sure gets around...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874350888994718899.post-80689668349567473822009-01-16T20:03:00.000-06:002009-01-16T20:03:00.000-06:00Helen - I "hear" you, and God.

Calling it my Silent Sunday.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>I decided that last week after I could not get a post idea out of my head DURING a wonderful sermon!!!! (I'm so ashamed) I knew I had to cut it back. Then, when my computer got sick....I took it as a sign. I already had some things written and saved so it has worked out for me. <BR/><BR/>If you notice, Dear Gabby has not been updated for that reason. SHe will be, but only when the extra time is there to do so.<BR/><BR/>On weekends I don't stay as long at the computer, but through the week it borders on obsession!<BR/><BR/><BR/>It's also why I'm not twittering.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Funny that SO MANY feel the same way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874350888994718899.post-40529029974424168132009-01-16T16:43:00.000-06:002009-01-16T16:43:00.000-06:00Helen -Did you happen to read my follow up comment...Helen -<BR/><BR/>Did you happen to read my follow up comment on Beth's blog? Weird. I've been feeling all kinds of convicted. I'm doing Wednesday and Sunday, too. I'll probably write less and concentrate on writing good, uplifting and spiritual posts -- you know, like "Getcherfreakon". Gotta go annoy my children now...cyberhugs!

Why'd you have to go ahead and listen to GOD?<BR/><BR/>Now I'm gonna have to reflect on this for me and my family.<BR/><BR/>In all seriousness, good post. Very thought-provoking. Lately I've been turning off my computer between the time the kids get home and dinner. Because it was taking more of my focus than the kids.

It may be tough but I'll pray for you (And not in the "I'll say I'll pray for you but I really won't kind of way). Plus, maybe after taking a bit of time off God will have filled your heart with even greater things to say. I'm excited!Ryan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18271573611813499721noreply@blogger.com
