Thought For The Day

Just Wondering. . .

As I grow older I discover that I have less and less interest in so many things. I used to really enjoy watching a “good” movie, but I don’t find any in current crop that appeal to me. It has to be me, of course. I am sure the movies get better and better each year. The only thing I find interesting on TV any more is the news, and most of it is so biased and politically oriented I don’t even enjoy that much these days. I wonder. . . is it my increasing years.

I still enjoy Church. . .most of the time. I have great concerns that so many congregations are just playing the game of “pretend.” You know. . .let’s pretend we care about people who have yet to come to faith. Let’s pretend we are going to be obedient in the process of being transformed into the image of our Savior. I don’t mean to sound negative. . .there is so much good going on in many Churches, but I wonder if my advancing  years are the source of my issue with becoming more and more “contemporary.”

I have concluded that I am never going to “think younger.”  I can’t seem to “lighten up,” and I have chosen to never get past the Truth that the TRUTH is not difficult to understand, implement, and embrace with growing enthusiasm and absolute enthusiasm.

It’s hard being old. . .correction, make that “older,” in a young-thinking World. Scripture tells us that wisdom resides in those who are “mature” in the Faith, but who’s believing that these days. Sometimes even I struggle with it.
