A Fast Fast

So, Lifechurch is fasting every Tuesday during the OnePrayer series. If you haven't checked it out yet, you should have your fingers stapled together. j/k
Anywho, I was thinking about what to fast when one of those Holy Spirit-God whispers said, "Why don't you give up TV?" I thought to myself, "God, you're crazy! What am I gonna do all day??? How about I give up doing laundry or exercise?" At that point, I could almost picture God giving me one of those disapproving looks. It was pretty clear what I was supposed to do, and from previous experiences I had learned not to make God wait.
So today I went TVless. No Rachel Ray, Days of our Lives, Dr. Phil, Reba, Wheel, nothing. And you know what happened? I spent more time with God, I got a lot of stuff done, and I didn't really even miss the TV. Most of the time, our lives are filled with things that aren't necessarily bad, but they aren't really productive. What is it for you?
