How simple this Christian life can be, and yet how complicated it can be at the same time. In the past I would fill my days w/ activities or involve myself in activities that I thought God would be pleased with. And at the same time I would find that I was to busy to be in Gods word and in prayer. And yet, How easily I recognize now that any day I do not surrender to the heart of God through prayer and scripture (and a number of other ways) are days I have ultimately sinned against Him. Any day without setting aside time and seeking God is a day that I unconsciously think I can handle without Gods divine interaction in my life. How can I know what He want's me to do if I am not in tune with him? Father, before I try to do anything for you, help me to spend time with you. (Isaiah 41)

Three True Thoughts from an adult with ADD?

Background: At local coffee shop/pub (Beatniks) for St. Patrick?s day with three other friends and we are given a St. Patrick?s day party pack that contains hats, pins, necklaces, noisemakers, and pulled firework poppers.
Brief laps of intelligence: "Hmm, when Katie shot her firwork confetti popper just a second ago, it didn?t go very far. Perhaps if I shoot while pointing at her face, it won?t hurt her but give her a funny scare."
Reality: momentary blindness and irritated eyes for Katie while Nate apologizes profusely.

Background: Book check for theology 1 is due Monday. Have to finish it up on suday night. Sit down at 1:30 am to get cracking.
Brief laps of intelligence: "Perhaps if I wash the show Stargate on my computer while I type, the whole process will go by faster."
Reality: working on book till 6:00 am in the morning.

Background: I get back from class and decide to make cinnamon roles. I place them on baking pan and put on icing, forgetting that icing goes on last.
Brief laps of intelligence: "Well, perhaps even though the icing is on they will still bake fine."
Reality: Smoke alarm is going off as crisp smoking cinnamon roles are pulled from the oven.

It?s not easy being ADD. Sometimes, I have no idea what I was thinking. There is no cause for alarm. This happens 10% of the time, and God is watching over me 100% of the time. Chance of hurting others or myself, about 1% of the time. But then?we must ask ourselves, maybe it was your or my time to go. (Please don?t take anything just stated seriously, this dose not reflect the theological doctrine of this writer).
