Weekly Challenge – A Day Without Electricity

Lent…’tis the season of sacrifice, and our priest had a challenge for us…give up electronics for one week (unless required for school or business).

I’m thinking this could be tough, but it could also be a great source of family fun! So…

Why don’t you and your family plan just one electronics free day, and in this case (since it’s only 1 day)…try life without electricity! Here are some ideas to get you started…

    What food will we pack in the cooler?

    Do we want to grill our dinner?

    Gather the flashlights!

    Plan lots of games and outdoor activities!

    Plan a campout to avoid temptation!

    Remember what life was like before cell phones, i-pods & computers?

    Think of your life without electricity as a day of old-fashioned family fun! Enjoy!
