Baseball: A review of our appreciation for our national pastime is a review of us:

I went to the Royals opening day game yesterday, it was a good time, they lost what's new. On to my point for this post, I really enjoy baseball, but I could not help feeling very distracted by all the goings on, from the silly messages on the scoreboards, the people walking around with painted bodies supporting the refurbish the stadiums vote, that silly lion throwing hot dogs into the crowd, the drunk guys behind me yelling all kinds of foul and ridiculous things at everyone, and my cell phone. This is what it takes to entertain us, when did a ball game stop being enough. We the people of this great country have a collective ADD outbreak, we simply have no attention span! It is sad, it is not a pastime anymore, because we nearly refuse to stop being 'productive' or wow'd by something. Take for example myself and the 2 guys on either side of me at the game yesterday, I took note in an early inning that the 3 of us had our cell phones out and were talking, emailing, or IM'ing, so I watched for the rest of the game and we were frequently saying what just happened (because we were working with our cell phones in hand). This did not look unique in the crowd around us. USoADD. Baseball is but one example, look around you can see it everywhere.

Rambling thoughts on a Sunday morning. (Posted late)

I have been blogging pretty regularly for a couple of weeks now, and this morning I realized that I am still coasting through life without thinking much about what I am choosing to fill my days with. To really and on a deep level do what God wants for my life I need to start paying more attention! I think this vehicle (blogging) can help but (duh) it's not the answer. Television is evil in my life, exercise and plentiful sleep are holy. We have too many channels on our TV, I am going to call and reduce it. I want a new riding lawn mower, I want a new bigger motorcycle, want not need, should I spend that money??? So many questions. I know the answers, but actually doing what I know is right is difficult.
I am writing this while listen to the Sunday morning sermon at my church, it has guided these thoughts, I think that is good.

It still drives me crazy, if the Scripture says 'man', don't say humanity. We understand the cultural relationship to those pronouns, but that is not what the SCIPTURE says.

Sunday school
what difference am I making in my world? Are people less hungry, less poor, less cold, less lonely, less hurting, because of my existence?
