Very appropriate for today’s society. I do not have cable T.V. and only watch a couple of shows…the news, Jeopardy (helps the brain) and I must confess a couple of “trash” shows. I have cut waaaaaay back on the computer/internet. I am spending more time reading, in depth, the blogs I follow and listening to others rather than writing to much about my life.
We make choices in how we spend the time allotted to us for this earthly visits; I have not always chosen wisely, however, I have chosen to choose differently and wiser….found that thinking cap in the back of my closet!

That Is true. Lovely, truthful things always center us on God, midst the turbulence. Shalom

Yeah…that was not worded very well…what I was trying to say is that as a family we discuss and talk about all the issues we see and hear or come in contact with that do not help us live out the verse about ‘if there is anything lovely, or beautiful, truthful…etc…think on THESE things’…we feel this is a way to help stay sensitive to God’s way. Did that help…or only confuse more?!

Great comment! Nice S.O.P. Don’t understand this: As well we try to always talk about issues we feel do not fit God’s idea of thinking on all things lovely, etc.. Please expound. Thanks

Yes, Lord! Have mercy on us. Forgive us for our sins. Turn and heal us. Come down! Come quickly! We need you desperately. We are waiting for you. We are longing for your healing, for your life-giving rebuke, your loving discipline. Let your will be done. Make your future for each of us come to fruition in every way. Our hope is in you! In Jesus’ name – Amen.

You are so right, Danielle! Would you call it a satanic diversion? Great to have you visit here and blessings to your writing also. Shalom

Wow! Powerful words, Jeanne. Sadly, many of these things the world has to offer has taken us away from developing a deeper relationship with God and genuine relationships with people.

Desensitized is for sure the truth…BUT it’s cool we can choose to do something about it…by using our thinking caps instead! Setting limits on amount of time on internet…for OURSELVES as well as children…getting rid of TV…we haven’t had TV in years…monitoring what your children (and ourselves) are reading and listening to. Those are choices we have made. As well we try to always talk about issues we feel do not fit God’s idea of thinking on all things lovely, etc. I’m not saying this works for everyone…each person needs to do what works for them as they serve and grow and love the Lord. It works for us as a way to stay sensitive to the beauty and love that God wishes us to focus on! Thanks for a great reminder!
