I’m awake…really

end of the day and the body is tired but the mind is still rolling. had time to read tonight and that just always seams to slow things down a bit. kinda makes me wonder sometime how much we get robbed by watch so much tv. now i am the first to admit that i would possibly give a leg than to lose m Tivo. Scrubs, friends (old but good), flip this house, King of Queens, office, and now House are a special part of my life. Nothing better than at the end of the day chillin in front of the tube for a few shows (no matter how late). BUT when it comes to sitting down to clear my head, pray, or read, I am not “feeling” like it. I wish that doing the best things were as easy and desirable as doing the EASY things. If praying was like listening to music or reading the Bible was like watching TV I’d be set. Not just set because I would be dong the “christian” thing to do, but more than that. Prayer connects us to God in a deep way that we need, with out that we are lacking in our day to day lives. God’s Word really is alive and good for us today. It puts things in perspective and truly gives wisdom, maybe not always the direct answer we need, but real Godly wisdom. I think slowing things down to hear ourselves think would solve so many problems and ultimately make us so much happier. I mean why is it that we feel so much better after we workout and eat a healthy meal, but we never do it? So many great deeds we think about doing but don’t find the time for. Not trying to preach at myself….but just thinkin that bit that Paul wrote about in the new testament about “what i want to do I don’t do and what I don’t want to do I do” he may have known what he was talking about. maybe one day I will master my self and do what I should do. just maybe…for tonight I am going to try and go to bed.


One thought on “I’m awake…really

  1. I hear you loud and clear. That’s how it is. In fact your last couple of sentences is point on. “One day I will do it, but tonight, I’m going to bed.” That’s why every time we do accomplish something meaningful it feels so good!
