Blogging and Addiction
This is my first experience with blogging. I am fascinated with it. Frankly, I am a little obsessed about it. I find myself wanting to run back to my computer no matter where I am or what I am doing. I am definitely not living in the present moment. I can feel the tension these past few days building in my neck and shoulders.
I know in my life with God that these are signs of putting something else ahead of my relationship with God. It may be just the fun of a new experience. But, this is the way that addictions begin. I know from listening to addicts on the streets.
So, this becomes a moment of awakening to my own need to let this go and to being in solidarity with my brothers and sisters who are in recovery. At some level, I think we are all addicted to something. My addictions, like possibly blogging, are just more societally acceptable.
As I take all of this to God in prayer, I can feel myself letting go and the freedom of God’s grace transforming this place.
