Last year, I turned off comments during Lent, and I really think that helped me to ignore the computer during the day. It’s hard to ignore the computer since it is in a high traffic location and is right next to the kitchen where I spend the majority of my non-school hours. There it is, humming away, as I measure ingredients or scrub pots. The little alert tone taunts me as I nurse the baby on the couch telling me I have mail, who could it be? Come see! Come see!

So, I’m turning off comments for the duration. In fact, I plan to turn off the computer at night and leave it off for as much of the day as possible. I’ll still be blogging, but I need to spend some extra time thinking, and reading, and praying. As always, my email address is in the sidebar, and I’d be happy to hear from you that way.

I hope you have a blessed Lent. I pray that we may all draw closer to God and, through Him, to each other in perfect charity.
