Don't Just Do Something, Stand There!

I follow a blog by a guy named Seth Godin.  Seth is a creative communicator and always has a unique perspective on some of the simplest things in life.  He wrote a blog entry last week with the same title as this one; a short three line entry.

What if you spent one day a week (hey, even a day a month) without meetings, phone or email?

How will you know unless you try?

Last Sunday at our church I talked about how to capture the moments this Christmas.  How, if we don't figure out how to hit the pause button this Christmas and just be in that moment, we will miss some incredible opportunities to enhance our relationship with God and with others.

So what if, in the next three weeks, we took Seth's challenge?  What if we actually took a day where we unplugged, turned off the cell phone, logged off of Facebook, burned a vacation day, cancelled meetings, did no shopping, and just spent the day dedicated to the most important relationships in our lives?

How would that change us, not just this Christmas, but forever?
