She and her husband, pastor Kerry Shook, founded one of Houston's most tech-savvy congregations, Woodlands Church, where members can tweet questions during services, interact on their own social networking site and even attend worship services at its 'digital campus' online.
On Wednesday, though, they're asking the church's 17,000-plus attendees to do the unthinkable: turn off their laptops, iPods and cell phones, and take a break from technology.
They're calling it a National Facebook Fast. For a whole day, the Shooks want people to swap digital communication for face time with family and friends."

This is a great idea! Hope it catches on. Face-to-face time is better than technology's contacts. I'm glad we have email and all the gadgets, but it's a mistake to let them replace face-to-face friends. I hope you won't mind if I use your blog as info for mine. This is good stuff today! Of course, I always enjoy it, but this is one of my soap box items. LOL
Take all you want. That's what I do!
