....oh my, lately I've been noticing how often I'm been "zoning out"..just chosing not to think. Like the title of the recent movie "Zombeland" . With so much fighting for our attention all the time, text messages,ipods,laptops,800 channels of cable,movie releases,news media,not to mention the real important stuff like spouse,family,friends,church activities,when I finally do get a few moments alone I'm spent! I just wanna Vege out ! And do! I fear I'm losing the art of thinking! Thinking about God and working out our salvation, seeking to understand what God wants from me now as a new creation in Christ. God has made it so that in order to find Him and know him one has to actively SEEK!

Jesus said "Seek and ye shall find".We do not come into the wonderful riches of wisdom that God has for us in Christ passively!We have to be active! Seek is an action Verb! Yet I'm so burnt with all the distractions I ain't too active in my mental pursits these days, thats for sure ,and it bothers me! I just shut down all too often. it's just too much work.Intresting that the aposle Paul wrote many of his epistles from a prison cell..no distractions there! I think we have to be vigilant in learning to ignore alot of these distractions so we can free our mind up to think on spiritual things. Not to be legalistic or self-righteous in any way(these things are not evil in themselves,e.g. cell phones,computers, news.well maybe the news media..heh-heh .. kidding) but to keep our mind free so we can as the apostle says in Colossians 3:1 "set our mind on things above".....:)
