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.

The media is the tail wagging the dog So, do people really care this much about the football player and his wife or is the media just feeding it to us. Talk shows determine what the topic will be. Editors decide what the headlines are. They don't ask us  whats on our minds. People who believe the media reflects society's interest, and not there own,  are just right out to lunch. Nobody cares about the three elderly nuns who were raped and murdered last week in Burundi or maybe a follow - up on the oil spills that "destroyed the planet"  a few years ago.  We're all just waiting to hear another opinion on the football player and his wife? Don't get me wrong. The story does not completely lack newsworthiness, but how many people does it take to tell such a simple little story when there is all kinds of other things happening that are important.

"Opportunity" by Berton Bradley

After raising three boys I find I'm always telling , not just them , but there friends too,how great it "used to be ". My parents always did the same as they spoke about the "good old days" . Now, I knew my parents "good old days" consisted of the great depression and a world war that saw 50.000.000 people die . Imagine that. Let that sink in awhile. These were the "good old days". Maybe the " good old days" were good ,because, the good Lord gives us "days "at all. And the sweet,sweet people around us are among the greatest gifts of all His creation. My parents pictures of "the good old days" always consisted of lots of people, in a very small room. Anyway,I get caught up in thinking about the past . This is not good for the next generation ,who have there whole lives stretched out before them. When I was young and in despair my mother shared this book of poems with me .It was at a time, like today ,wh...

Another Poem

When I first started studying the Bible, I found I was always picking out things I thought I was pretty much in line with, or was already applying to my own life and I would see the faults of other people who weren't where I was morally. I thought "Gee, It so easy. Why don't people just live like me". It's not just Chistians. Many folks think they have all the "real" righteous ways figured out and if you should, say, smoke,or drink, or do something politically incorrect, well, you're just bad, stupid or both. It's always so easy to see the shortcomings of others. At some point I came across Luke18:9-14 "To some who are confident and look down at everybody else,Jesus told this parable:"Two men went up to the temple to pray one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: 'God I thank you that I am not like other men--robbers, evildoers, adulterers-or-- even like this tax collector. I ...
