Bored or Blessed

I was on another long walk last night. The kind of thing the Cialis advertisers refer to as boring. (No more long walks ,nudge , nudge , wink , wink). As I walked I was amazed at the rate of thinking my mind was doing. In this fast ,constantly entertained world am I the only one or do other people find the "boring" times like long walks , working on the assembly line , cutting the grass, or waiting for an appointment a great time to think about deeper things like rolling the scripture I didn't totally grasp , over again in my mind . Taking it to heart and with the spirit's help understanding and thinking of how I can apply it to my life without reading someone elses view or watching a video telling me what it means and how to think. The "boring" times are great times to be with you and God alone , to develop who you are. Convict yourself , "hey , maybe I was wrong about this or that". Or if your sure about something the "boring" time is a great place to build an explanation for you view.
Sometimes "boring" times are good for planning trips or fun surprises for your wife or family or just counting your blessings (personally I'd need a really lenghty walk to touch on just a fraction of these . Thanks Lord)
Anyway , if your bored I think maybe you just need to get your mind in gear and perhaps if more of those guys on TV went on long walks with there wives instead of watching football all day they would'nt need Cialis. Just something that came to me after my long "boring" walk , nudge , nudge, wink , wink.

Find a Quiet Place And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.Matthew 14:23 Recommended ReadingExodus 19:14-20http://www.turningpointonline.org/site/R?i=Zwo47ncR4avEBivBM-ru8w.. Are you addicted to Twitter, the social networking service that allows you to describe your status in 140 characters or less and subscribe to others' status reports? Even if you're not addicted, a lot of people apparently are. There are plenty of websites now that describe signs of Twitter addiction and how to break the addiction if you are so afflicted. Twitter, texting, email, the Internet, 24-hour news cycles on radio and television--it's almost impossible to find a place to be alone with one's own thoughts today. And if you do find yourself in a silent place, it's only because you turned off or left behind a half-dozen or more devices that are designed to keep you occupied with "critical" information around the clock. But the information you receive in a quiet place is more important than anything else you might hear. That's because it comes from God and His Word. As our Creator and Heavenly Father, God wants to meet with you in a quiet place. If need be, unplug and turn off the distractions and meet alone with the Father who waits for you.

I agree, some of my best thinking & prayer times are when I'm at work cleaning all by myself. I think our culture puts too much value on being busy all the time.

Blog Me

There's been many times I've had things to say be it spiritual,social, political,or just micellaneous rambling and I needed a place to vent these thoughts. Comments would be great . I'm laid off from work and have much more time to waste on the computer. This first blog deals with nothing.I'm simply trying to see how it works.

Tested Faith

"Our faith is not really tested until God asks us to bear what seems unbearable, do what seems unreasonable, and expect what seems impossible." Warren Wiersbe 1. Bear what seems unbearable- We will all reach a point in life where a loss or a fear seems like too much to take on our own. Psalm 68:19 "Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens." 2Corinthians 12:9 "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." 2. Do wha...

A great devotional and lesson from Dr. David Jerimiah. Monday, August 2 Patient or Peevish? Then the LORD said, "Is it right for you to be angry?" Jonah 4:4 Recommended Reading Jonah 4 Newspapers recently reported about a Chicago murder suspect who attacked his own attorney. The lawyer had advised the plaintiff to stop "mouthing off" during jury selection, but the alleged murderer didn't like the advice. He punched his defender in the face. Now the plaintiff comes to court with his hands, feet, and head strapped to a chair and his mouth covered. He also has a new lawyer. It's odd how irritable we can be at others when the fault lies purely with us. We often resent those who try to help us. We may really be angry at ourselves; but our frustration erupts toward our husband, wife, coworker, teacher, or church worker. Sometimes we can even be angry at God, as Jonah was when God spared Nineveh. But whenever we lash out, it's wise to listen to the Lord, who...
