Hmm. What is possible
Saturday night, I am getting better. I should have written something last night, but instead I found myself entrenched in a mindless online computer game. I told myself I would only play a couple rounds and spend absolutely no money. Unfortunately I have been fiddling with said game off and on for several years. I am on like the gazillionth level. Puzzles are difficult and the remolding costs keep getting higher. I have to solve the puzzles without buying diamonds, which gets more difficult with each level. I guess I mentioned that, more or less. It is possible to beat the level without extra help, not always easy. At the end of completion of a level I am awarded points in which to buy furnishings, windows and such to remodel the room I am working on. I am more aware of the addiction in my teen boys as I seek to finish just one more level.
So, where it was possible for me to write last night, I allowed myself to delve into my guilty pleasure addiction. What does this tell me. Not a new thought really. I fact I'm pretty sure the Creator of the universe coined the phrase first.
Simply put: Avoid temptation. Run from that which entangles us. Now, playing a game is not a bad thing. And its not really mindless, actually becoming quite difficult. I'm guessing maybe will keep my aging mind more alert. Problem being, I should have complete the tasks I had wanted to accomplish BEFORE I entertained the idea which enticed me.
Lord, remind me to keep my/You're priorities for my life forefront, and give me the strength to make your designs possible.

It's so easy to get drawn into things like this and forget what we've prioritized for ourselves. A great reminder.
Visiting you from last week's FMF.
