RECOMMENDED READING
The Tech-wise Family by Andy Crouch
Making conscientious choices about technology in our families is more than just using internet filters and determining screen time limits for our children. It's about developing wisdom, character, and courage in the way we use digital media rather than accepting technology's promises of ease, instant gratification, and the world's knowledge at our fingertips. And it's definitely not just about the kids.

If a year-long Bible reading plan is a little intimidating (or if it just isn't enough!), we have also identified a plan that leads us through the book of Philippians in 14 days.
Let's memorize this scripture! Philippians 1:9-11
