Have you ever felt trapped in your day to day, same-ole same-ole? You play on the computer, search the world wide web, post a blog or two, read a blog or two, realize it's time for lunch, read the news paper or magazine, do a few chores, back to the computer to see if you have any replies to your posts, hours pass and you realize its time for dinner, clean up the mess call a few Friends, text a few important messages to your contacts then it's so late you fall into bed an mumble a prayer. You're trapped in a trap of your own design, stuck inside your world looking out at the world passing you by. You vow to make changes tomorrow and make more time for God and devotion BUT tomorrow ends much the same. We're addicted to entertaining ourselves and hooked on doing things..Too much of a good thing is NOT a good thing...
God knows our flesh and loves us! God to the rescue.....
God, in all His wisdom, spoke to our Pastor about our being too busy in the pleasures of our flesh that we were missing His blessings and directions. Pastor asked the Church body to stay off of the computer as much as they could, read our Bible instead of novels, magazines and other personal favorite reads, to spend more time with family and more time in The Word and in our relationship with God.
THANK GOD for speaking to our Pastor, and thank you Pastor for hearing and obeying.

We all needed that message! It was a wonderful week spent without all of the "extra" stuff that sometimes keeps us from spending more time with God.
P.S. By the way, this is your Pastor's wife, not your Pastor writing this. He did read it and was thankful for your kind words.
