I know a lot of people (myself included!!) that will zone out on a drive to a youth function or camp with their ipods and cameras and not pay attention to those around us. Same with at home, when we're supposed to be with our families but taking time away from that to facebook or even reading. Thanks for the post...still convicting after almost four years! :) Ha, although the intro is hilarious, it’s convicting.

I know that I use a lot of my things, like my MP3 player and computer, with a good measure of self-control, but still reading this reminds me to pay more attention to the people around me, and it cautions me not to become self-absorbed. I still have progress to make. Thanks very much for the post. (The Hollywood boy-girl romance introduction was MOST amusing and entertaining.) I’ve beaten Elizabeth and Alyssa P.

I know I'm a bit behind in reading it, but it just pulled me up short and really made me think about the way I treat my family. That was a great post.

Wow! I so needed to hear this. I know I'm not respecting the time God has given me [and expected me to use wisely] when I spend way too much time on the laptop instead of getting with the family or studying or just doing other more active things then indulging in technology constantly. And really, it is so refreshing to get out and spend time with people rather than an Apple or Mac anyway. ;) Our friends and family deserve better. (And really, we're doing ourselves a favour when we balance our use of technology). Thanks for this. It's good to hear it spoken out. This is an old post but the truth of it will never get old.

I find that it does not need to be electronic to consume the attention that should go to my family. A friend of mine put it well, "Every time you girls start reading you turn into a brick wall!" It really shows what we value most and who we really love, (our families or our selves). "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matt 6:21 and Luke 12:34 I have been reading your blog for several months now (this is my first post), and it just keeps getting better and better! Keep fighting!

As I was reading this it suddenly struck me that I am doing that to my Mother. Very often when she is talking to me she is trying to fight a war of my attention with my laptop! That should not be! I will really try to work on that! Thank you guys for waking me up! Wow! As I was reading this it suddenly struck me that I am doing that to my Mother.

I have been guilty of biased attention. My family, whom I love more than my friends, I treat worse than my friends! That isn't right, and thank you for reminding me of that. :) Thank you!

I especially liked the last two paragraphs. Very nice. I don't have an i-pod 'cuz I can't afford one (I think that's kind of a good thing, lol) but I do have an mp3 player of some sort. I think you did another real good job on here. Well said. okay THAT was good. I especially liked the last two paragraphs. Very nice.
