A guy named Joe Schmidt posted a thought provoking article called "Kill Your iPod, Find Your Walden". Interesting because it not only challenges us to weed out distractions in our lives, but also to weed out distractions in our Spiritual lives as well.

The modern Christian is overrun with everything from books to board games teaching them about God. We’ve invaded ever area of entertainment so as to send the message as far and as often as possible. Please listen to me carefully; I’m not saying this is in and of itself a bad thing. I am saying that if we are constantly reading books and hearing messages about God and never taking time to separate ourselves from those things to seek him for our own, then we will never know Christ beyond an entertainment or philosophical level.

Lately I've been seeking to know God even more than ever before in a really personal way, and the above statement just confirms that that is a lofty goal worth reaching for.
