In your opinion, life without the internet is hardly worth living. Could be, but you probably need a bit more fresh air and sunshine to think clearly. |
Hi!
Bible in a Year:
Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn to revere me.
When my grown son faced a difficult situation, I reminded him about Gods constant care and provision during his dads year of unemployment. I recounted the times God strengthened our family and gave us peace while my mom fought and lost her battle with leukemia. Highlighting the stories of Gods faithfulness stitched into Scripture, I affirmed He was good at keeping His word. I led my son down our familys God-paved memory lane, reminding him about the ways He remained reliable through our valley and mountaintop moments. Whether we were struggling or celebrating, Gods presence, love, and grace proved sufficient.
Although Id like to claim this faith-strengthening strategy as my own, God designed the habit of sharing stories to inspire the future generations belief in Him. As the Israelites remembered all theyd seen God do in the past, He placed cobblestones of confidence down their divinely paved memory lanes.
The Israelites had witnessed God holding true to His promises as they followed Him (Deuteronomy 4:36). Hed always heard and answered their prayers (v. 7). Rejoicing and reminiscing with the younger generations (v. 9), the Israelites shared the holy words breathed and preserved by the one true God (v. 10).
As we tell of our great Gods majesty, mercy, and intimate love, our convictions and the faith of others can be strengthened by the confirmation of His enduring trustworthiness.
Whos invested in your spiritual growth by sharing what God has done in their lives? What creative ways can you share His faithfulness and love across generational lines?
Sovereign God, thank You for empowering me to walk with sure-footed faith that crosses generational lines.
Internet? Please. You're definitely not geeky enough to be that addicted. You have a full life off your computer - and the internet is just a small pastime.
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Ready to take the quiz.
Only 37% addicted?
Seems like more.
I do not need a quiz for this.
Me as I get ready to go to sleep: “If I don’t turn on the computer tomorrow and go online, I can get some stuff done.”
Me the next day: “I gotta remember not to turn on the computer and go online because stuff needs to get done” as I turn on the computer and go online.
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
You Are 54% Addicted to the Internet
You're somewhat addicted to the internet - but who isn't?
You can keep it under check, and you're by no means a hermit.
I deviate from my usual opening line to say “blondes in pink?” Vavavavoom (though I also like brunettes in black and red and separately pistachio ice cream and hot summer nights).
Sez here this week I am six of one half dozen of another.
