He is an individual God, personally interested in each heart. It may be He is speaking to one and not the other, for He has purposes especially for growth for one that perhaps ebbing their online time helps to accomplish. While I agree with others that this post is uplifting...I'd also have to add "may be" before those words. For while it is likely that as you and your family have found no conviction (moderation being considered) in your online time, this venue is not for everyone. Addiction doesn't always mean vices we can see. And lovers of our soul can come in many forms and replace God. So, I would hope you could add the addendum: Seek God first and don't make a sweeping generalisation that the computer is bad; merely, seek His will. Is your time bringing your heart, mind, spirit and body more joy than God Himself? Do you go to bed thinking of the computer? The next post? The post you read? Can you quiet yourself into the presence of God? And when you arise...is the anticipation to sit at the computer far stronger than being with Him?<br /><br />I do hope you understand my comment. For your post, while very encouraging for the online time (again, with moderation) does little to highlight the actuality of the addiction computer time is for some....<br /><br />Humbly, EileenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981649271574500877.post-84495742876345110722012-02-03T19:59:27.045-06:002012-02-03T19:59:27.045-06:00What a great post, Marqueta!

I can't wait for Friday nights to come around so I can have tea and a cooky and do a little reading and visiting. It is like a lovely tea party with my gal pals! I love my blogging friends and am grateful for them!mattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749881104429358524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981649271574500877.post-90458302486510593322012-02-02T23:47:10.935-06:002012-02-02T23:47:10.935-06:00choose from the variety of courses being offered a...choose from the variety of courses being offered at <a href="http://www.speedycourse.com.ph" rel="nofollow">SpeedyCourse</a>scfinderhttp://www.speedycourse.com.ph/coursesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981649271574500877.post-72901219898884780252012-02-02T10:02:13.542-06:002012-02-02T10:02:13.542-06:00Amen! I agree.
If we all lived in a small town...Amen! I agree. <br /><br />If we all lived in a small town next to each other, we would be doing all this in person. That would be very nice, but I think this is the next best thing.<br /><br />At first I worried about privacy on the web...but the same goes about the small town. I grew up in one and nothing was kept private. love,andreaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981649271574500877.post-26124631476453572242012-02-02T07:14:54.516-06:002012-02-02T07:14:54.516-06:00I agree with you completely!

I miss sharing what our Lord has shown me for this particular day. Blogging is wonderful, but it is the constant commenting and spending time in front of the screen that has kept me from finding balance.<br /><br />Thank you for this today! I needed to read it and to enjoy it. There is nothing wrong with this.<br /><br />But like you said, balance is what is needed!<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />Mariamariahttp://amomentinmyday.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981649271574500877.post-29998008661124758512012-02-01T18:19:36.745-06:002012-02-01T18:19:36.745-06:00That was a very nice read for me today.

But just now, I took a short break, (feeling really guilty about not sitting at the art table 24/7), and hopped on my blogger dashboard to see what's up. So, Hurrah! thank you my dear, I don't feel guilty now, and may just visit a few more of my friends as well!jerilandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418564262425621746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981649271574500877.post-68545873607341033302012-01-31T21:23:09.781-06:002012-01-31T21:23:09.781-06:00I agree with you, Marqueta!

I think my DH thinks he's going to become a 'blog-widower'!<br /> But you're right, it IS a good and wholesome thing to do, in so many ways.<br /> Reading lovely blogs like yours just inspires us all to aim higher in life: that is no bad thing!<br /> God bless xxxhazelnuthttp://sweethazelnuthome.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981649271574500877.post-31155845191810066042012-01-31T12:29:20.013-06:002012-01-31T12:29:20.013-06:00It is so true!
