Diving into the blogging world

Well, I'm an official blogger. After reading several friends' postings, ponderings, thoughts, and lessons learned, I thought I'd jump on the blogger bandwagon. At first you wonder, hmmmm, what to write about??? On the drive home from work today, all these thoughts popped into my head; some profound, some silly, some thought-provoking, some not, so here goes.....

I was listening to my favorite Christian radio station this morning and the deejay was talking about one of his friends being obsessed with her cellphone. Whether keeping the address book up to date, always making sure the latest upgrades were obtained, and making sure it's always on so as not to miss a call, she was deeply distressed when she left her phone on top of her car and drove off, only for it to fall off and get run over by an oncoming car. This prompted my favorite radio personality to ponder the profundity of the situation at hand. Here is this object that is most definitely easy to replace, but all this importance is put on it. What if we treated our Bibles in the same way? We can make sure its words are always on our hearts so we can share what it has to say with others, it always speaks the truth, it's always up to date no matter the situation, and it's always there for us. It certainly provides comfort, unlike the cellphone that can often cause stress or anxiety depending who's on the other end. And unlike people who may not always return our calls, Jesus is always there with His arms wide open, ready to receive our calls. Plus, most importantly, the service is FREE!!!!!! There is no plan better or more comparable. We will never be disconnected or cut off, and our call always goes through. As a good friend of mine at church muses, "Go to the throne instead of the phone!!"
