Well, I lost my cell phone for 5 days last week. At first it was weird....I found myself feeling strangely isolated. ....by the 4th day, I noticed that I was so peaceful. I wasn't checking for it unconsciously anymore. My drive time was quiet - even worshipful. I was on task more. It wasn't as bad as I thought. Although, I must admit that I was ecstatic when it turned up lodged down in between the seat in my car! On that note, I want to follow with a little thought that Rob shared at church tonight with the students. He is doing a study on simplicity - vs the chaos. This one really made me think:

Cell Phone vs. Bible
I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text daily?
What if we treated it like we could not live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
What if we used it when we traveled?
What if we used it in case of emergency?
This is something to make you go, "Hmmm, where is my Bible?"
Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill!
Makes you stop and think "where are my priorities"....
and by the way, No dropped calls!!!!

"Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all of these things will be added unto you." Matt. 6:33
