Need Input

Leah and I leave tomorrow morning for Cancun. We will soak sun, sip silly drinks, sleep in and slosh around the pool for five glorious days. Leah has been reading me their weather report every day for two weeks now. I've heard people say, "I SO NEED a vacation." I don't feel that need per se. But I do feel the need to fast from this computer. I realized the other day when I was preparing for the writing workshop that for the past year I've done a lot more outputting than inputting. I've abandoned one of my favorite things: reading. So this coming week I'm pulling a Johnny5. I'm going to forget the internet exists and get lost in some good fiction. I do in fact SO NEED that. I am also excited to start the RESET personal guide in such a "secluded" atmosphere. I think I'll really be able to get lost in the book of Luke and this concept of resetting my assumptions of Jesus. I NEED that as well. Need input.

Great idea. You should commit to blog everyday about the trials of life without the internet...

I'm almost done with James Patterson's newest. It's a good read. Sick and twisted, but a good read.
