In the church service I attended today the pastor made a very interesting point that has stuck with my all day. He made the comparison between a magic 8 ball and the Bible. The comparison was that when we shake a magic 8 ball no matter what the answer we get we will continue to shake the ball until we get the answer we want. Sometimes we do the same with the Bible; when a verse has strong convictions or does not tell us what we want to hear so we simply find a different verse that will tell us what we want to hear. Talk about deep! With everything that is going on in my life school, work, and relationships with my friends it seems like I am constantly trying to find something always agree with us, even though its not right. It reminds me of my favorite line to a song "sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth". I think this verse says it all because no matter how much we try and sugar coat things the truth will seems to find us out in the end. Putting off homework, not completing an assignment or blaming everyone else around you when there is no one else to blame but yourself. I guess this is just another one of those lessons you have to learn with grown up.
However, no matter how much we try to sugar coat the truth I know that there is one book that will keep me in line. Something else I am also learning with age is that it takes putting time in to get time out. Even if its taking ten minutes out of my day, that ten minutes adds up and that time spent will help to guide me in this thing called life.
