I've come to discover something in myself I am really not liking right now. I watched the movie Surrogates last night and out of I gleamed a message... it was basically a bunch of people who out of fear, laziness and superficiality would link up to a computer and would operate these machine versions of themselves called "Surrogates". It allowed for military members to be shot and "killed" but not die in real life. It allowed all kinds of physical endurance and stunts by the average person as well as dashing good looks. Well, that is what our society for the most part really wants. A LOT with not a lot of effort or action put into it. What I have noticed about myself is that I prefer mind stimulating non-productive activity. I downloaded and beat a game that was very strategic and fun called Plants Vs Zombies. Sounds kinda silly, but it is strategic and fun. Then, yesterday I stumbled upon an iPhone app called GodFinger, where you are the "god" of a world and you have to take care of followers, tell them what to do, have them grow gold, build stuff and keep them happy. Sounds interesting... but is pretty addictive... I can sit and play these kinds of games for hours and hours. The same with internet and facebook. I can spend so much time busily looking at, well, nothing. Add to it some movie watching and TV Show on Netflix and it produces a lot of non-productive activity. I have a lot I need to be doing. I need to work on my to do list to tell me all I need to do. I'm a little frustrated with how non-productive I have been lately.
I've also been a little less social than normal and maybe in an overall slump. I am moving this next week and am excited/challenged a bit by that. I am super excited to be moving into our house and Harley getting to live with me again, but just going a little crazy with all that needs to be done for that... I don't think anyone reads this, but if so, pray that I can get focused, get everything I need to done and get out of this slump.
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who, for the joy set before Him, endured the Cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God! Heb 12:2
