I will be back in the future to read more. I have always wondered about computers, the way our brain works and spirituality. I find preparing for messages that just pushing away from the computer and or writing and then transferring my notes to digital alway "unlocks something" for me spiritually. Thanks man.

For example, I'm trying the Mental Case app for my iphone - it's like an electronic flash card system, and I'm finding it useful.

As we have talked about, I do think through the fact of our brains being "trained" if you will by "services" such as google, twitter, facebook, etc. We are becoming accustomed to rapid amounts of small tid-bits of information, and rather we know it or not; all of this is impacting our thinking, communication style, etc. (Not just with people, but even in the way by which we communicate with God. As if God only wants us to "micro-blog" our life to Him.) Although I really enjoy "social networking" I always want to enjoy my "real life" relationships and spend more time pouring into those then I do these "virtual" ones. I think a computer fast would do many of us good - myself very much included. Really great thoughts.

Much of Wordsworth and Keats's poetry deals with this theme of nature and our need to get away from the industrialized world for a bit to connect deeply with God.
