Unhealthy Conditioning...
Sunshine makes me feel so spiritual! I turn on the upbeat Christian music, I want to spend hours in prayer and Bible reading, I want to dance and sing and spend all day at church :D Because it feels like summer, and summer is the time for JESUS!
Isn't that horrible? But that is how we've been conditioned since our teens! No, since CHILDHOOD! How many of us did VBS in the summertime, 5th and 6th grade summer retreats, then later, high school mission trips and retreats and special church events and super spiritual challenges and urban plunges and everything else! In the summertime, we finally have time for Jesus!
Not healthy. Not healthy at all.
But we have all winter to deal with these things we've realized about ourselves. For now, I'm going to buy my iced drinks, turn up my tunes, and take my bike to work in the joy of the Lord :)
Finally Woken
Long lay the world in sin and error pining 'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorous morn.
