Addicted with Facebook Games

It has been two weeks that I noticed that I have already been addicted to Facebook games.  It has caught my attention; so sticky that in the past few days, I noticed that I am almost online monitoring Facebook activities the whole days for almost a week now.

It all started with FarmVille, I thought it was just a game and something to relax with.  And it did helped me relaxed.  And here comes Farm Town, which was more exciting than FarmVille.  I get to hire people to harvest and plow for me.  I really felt rich because I have 3 million in cash.  I was even kidding myself that at least virtually I am rich.  Now, hear comes Friends for Sale.  I was only curious but also got hooked.  Imaging my value is not more than 30 million and I have around 70 million in cash (virtually).  This is really addictive.  I really felt that my attention to more important stuffs are being neglected, like my book reading and some of my visitation and follow-up work.

Maybe this is also an effect because I have started to refrain myself from any major work and issues in the church since I am almost done with my contract.  This does not mean that I have neglected my responsibilities but I have refrain from doing new stuffs and entails long term attention.  So far, I am still very faithful in coming to church 6 am everyday to pray for UECP and the spiritual nourishment of our church members.  This has been going on since August 1.

Because of these Facebook stuffs, I believe they are not healthy for me.  I did not bring my laptop yesterday to church so that I can focus on my reading and STOP playing Facebook games.  So far, it has been quite awhile already that I have not planted anything in my farms with FarmVille and Farm Town.

I praise God for calling my attention to this... hehehe.  Self-control truly comes from the Holy Spirit.
