"The abundant life is a spiritual life. Too many sit at the banquet table of the gospel of Jesus Christ and merely nibble at the feast placed before them. They go through the motions—attending their meetings perhaps, glancing at scriptures, repeating familiar prayers—but their hearts are far away. If they are honest, they would admit to being more interested in the latest neighborhood rumors, stock market trends, and their favorite TV show than they are in the supernal wonders and sweet ministerings of the Holy Spirit." -Joseph B. Wirthlin, The Abundant Life
"Decide what media you are going to participate in before you actively participate....Many evils of the Internet could be avoided if, before we even use the computer, we plan what worthwhile tasks we will undertake, accomplish that task, and then get off." -Anonymous
The past twelve hours could be summarized as follows:

The past twelve hours could be summarized as follows:
- Spent the evening with friends instead of watching a movie
- Woke up to watch the sunrise instead of updating online chat status
- Took a phone call from a little sister instead of surfing Facebook
- Watched and pondered a General Conference talk instead of watching a Youtube clip
- With little time left before work, wrote a quick "online to-do list," checked it off, got back to real life
- Looked at my watch--7:30 AM
Today will be a tangible, "real" day...
and it feels so good.
