10 Reasons Why a Break from Twitter is for You

It's been about 2 months now since @tweetfast was put in motion (by sister @HeatherWilson). If you have yet to hear about it, @tweetfast is the twitter site calling on believers worldwide to fast for 24 hours, not from food, but from their tweeting fascination. It's scheduled to take place on Good Friday, April 10. (Could there be a more appropriate date?) And I must say I'm really quite surprised to this point that @tweetfast hasn't caught fire more than it has. With so many Christians tweeting I thought it would be a no-brainer to join in putting twitter on hold. But maybe it's just another sign that we really do need to take a break? To this end I've come up with 10 reasons why a break from twitter is for you. May it serve as a gentle nudge towards Christ and away from the world - maybe for more than one of you? Be blessed.
