of the 1st Week of Lent

Luke 11: 29-32
Holy Cross, Champaign, Ill.
People come to Jesus asking him to perform some sign that he has come from God--as if he hasn't already cured enuf sick people or driven out enuf demons. They don't really want to meet God thru Jesus--to be converted. They just want to be entertained.
How much time do we spend seeking entertainment and diversion--in mindless TV, use of the Internet, playing solitaire, shopping, recreating--not as a necessary form of relaxation (we all need a bit of that, of course) but as a way to avoid introspection, reviewing our relationships with God and with others and keeping those relationships in good repair?
