At the beginning of the summer, I had a number of projects on my mind that I wanted to finish before I left for the FTTA. I wanted to implement a new blogsite, finish reading the Old Testament, read all the books on the “Suggested Reading” list for the FTTA, and create a digital story/scrapbook. But now with only one month left, I realized the only thing I have any results to show for is this blog, and even then, it’s not fully finished; there’s still a number of design elements I want to incorporate.
Instead, I end up squandering most of my time on computer games or watching movies. But then, after a full day of work, I really don’t feel up to anything that requires mental exertion. The addiction of computer games after a long day comes from the fact that you can just sit down and mindlessly click on the screen, and vegetate. The same goes for movies. Passive entertainment. The opium of the masses. Yes…bring on the opium.
Except…that’s a really sad way to live. Lord, grant me, according to the riches of Your glory, to be strengthened with power through Your Spirit into my inner man. Operate in me the willing and the working, that I would cooperate to remain in touch with You, to have a habitual fellowship with You, and to be under Your constant infusion by walking according to the spirit.
