Spanish bishop: Abstain from text messages this Lent

'The Diocese of Girona in Spain, together with Caritas Girona, is calling on young people to “abstain” from sending text messages during Lent—which ends on March 20—as part of the Lenten campaign called “Disconnect to get connected.”

The campaign encourages young people aged 14 to 30 to give up three text messages per day and to spend less time connected to the internet during the forty days of Lent." - CNA

Of course, time spent reading AmP or related AmP pages doesn't count as internet time. ;-)

AmP headlines by text alert, hmm, now that's an (intrusive) idea....

Here's a question: how many of you give up Facebook, internet, cell phone chatting or yes - texting - for Lent? Do you try to limit your use of all or any of these technologies?
