I feel like I had everything so much more together in high school. I worked out everyday. I did morning devotions everyday. EVERYDAY. I remember I would wake up and do my devotions first thing. Because I always got them done, but also because it helped me keep everything in perspective. This life is temporal. I don't really need to worry about _______. For the worries that morning devotions couldn't keep away, there were the nightly workouts, and their mood-boosting endorphins. It was a good system. Life seemed to move slower. Because I wasn't so stressed. Everything was viewed from the perspective of healthy faith. I reacted to outside forces less, and wasn't quite so frantic. I hate to admit, but I've lost that.
My goal is to hide myself away from the world, with the Bible or a book and hot tea (and let's be honest, probably a cozy blanket), for at least one hour every day. No TV, no computer, no cell phone, no music. The first books on my list:
The Book of Acts
The Case for Christ (Lee Strobel)
The Resurrection Factor (Josh McDowell)
Who Made God? (Ravi Zacharias/Norman Geisler)
Is Your Church Ready? (Ravi Zacharias/Norman Geisler)
The Invisible People (Greg Behrman)
