The constant intrusion of emails, tweets, text messages, phone calls, app notifications, and all other digital communications keep us from connecting to those sitting near us as well as can be a constant distraction from time with God. In Scripture, it is tasked that we take a holy Sabbath from all work so that we can simply honor God through worship and find rest in Him. A digital Sabbath, as I propose, would be to simply turn off all things that fall under the category of digital distractions including all cell phones, televisions, and even blogs. (GASP!)
(My attempt this week is to have a digital Sabbath from seventy8 Productions and so everything is automated all week long!)
