You are cracking me up, all this and a baby less than a year? I still make lists like this...
I wish you good luck, they all sound like very worthy things to do.
This is quite a list! For forty days plus Sundays? Wow!
It doesn't sound at all penitential, but what it does sound is intentional, and that's great, I'm thinking similar things. (I have been on Facebook only a very short time and already I can see it's cutting into my reading and movie-watching time, which is not good; and if I get a job soon, which might happen, it will be even worse. So I think I will make a twice-a-day rule. And the other thing is, no computer solitaire! I'm horrified at how often "just one more game" keeps me up late enough that my eyes aren't working right!) My other plan is more intercessory prayer, being more intentional about it, perhaps I will try using the prayer beads I made a few years ago.
Not sure how you are doing with the rest of the list, but you can check off #12 & 13. If you are looking for takers, we would love to be on the receiving end of #26.
