COMMITMENTS TO ORDERED DIGITAL LIFE 💚

In my desire to be fully human, as God has created me, I will endeavor to keep the following commitments as I live in this digital age:

1. Meditate daily on the teachings and life of Jesus.
2. Remember that embodied presence is a powerful gift I can offer and receive.
3. Walk, talk, text, and post in the manner of love as Jesus would.
4. Pray daily for wisdom and understanding of how God wants me to use my technologies.
5. Live a life with my eyes up and heart open to performing regular service for others and for the world.
6. Set aside my device when I am physically present with other people and strive to be mentally and emotionally present to them as well, even if they are not to me.
7. Fix my eyes only on whatever is true, lovely, pure, and right.
8. When I am sad, bored, angry, lonely, or anxious, reach for another person, nature, or God before turning to a screen.
9. Set aside my devices in order to enjoy the sacred times of eating meals with someone, spending time with my loved ones, or going to bed.
10. Strive for times of solitude and silence in order to rest and to not hide from myself or God.
