Recently a woman in my Bible study group said she took an hour each day for her "quiet time." She does not answer the phone, the TV is off....., she takes a mini retreat to be alone with God. Sounds like something I might want to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-30902340792008508692008-09-20T16:20:00.000-07:002008-09-20T16:20:00.000-07:00Kristi and Juliet- I identify with you.

Our modern conveniences are great but sometimes can distract us from simply spending time with friends and actually listening without interruptions.Debbie Petrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235978883396499354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-25439399458480908602008-09-20T11:18:00.000-07:002008-09-20T11:18:00.000-07:00Yeah, I think about this all the time.

I've actually been considering doing a meditation retreat (random but one of my friends did it) to get away from it all for a few days. :)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540175839494623402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-51372936425305414422008-09-19T23:17:00.000-07:002008-09-19T23:17:00.000-07:00I remember having relaxing drives either talking w...I remember having relaxing drives either talking with the person in the passenger seat, or listening to music. Now, I am not only distracted by calls and texts on my cell phone, but I'm eye-balling other drivers to make sure they are not going to do something kooky in the middle of the road because they are on their cell phone. <BR/><BR/>Plus I remember when you went to dinner with family/friends/a date and always had their attention, vs competing with their phone.<BR/><BR/>I think we've become slaves to the things that were meant to make everything more convenient and easy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-71058173721878039042008-09-19T10:56:00.000-07:002008-09-19T10:56:00.000-07:00Loved this post.
