I actually did "unplug" for 40 days about 7 months ago: no t.v. (including news), no internet (except for business email), listened to only worship music, and doubled my prayer time daily. It's hard to put into words the new dimension of peace that I experienced during this time, and the deeper communion with the Lord. And I'm a person who prays and studies the Word every day. But just eliminating all the "noise" in my life made such a difference! I'm currently preparing to do this again.
