Brain Dead

I'll be quite honest. My brain doesn't really have a blog idea, and God hasn't banged me over the head with one either. However, a few people in my life will be disappointed if I write nothing, so here is a little something...

Everyday at least one child in the class I assist for has ants in his or her pants. Maybe due to early consumption of sugar. Maybe due to exciting plans. Maybe ADHD. Who really knows. I only know that the child cannot sit still to save his or her life. Sometimes I'm tempted to super glue their butts to the chair.
Likewise, my brain is a 3 year old. I must be entertained all the time. Unless I'm sleeping, my brain is ticking or turning to mush. At work, my mind is on the kids or what I have to do after work. After work, if I'm stuck doing something that's not really fun, I entertain myself while I do it. Just today, I listened to a audio book while exercising. I watched a show via my cell phone while cooking dinner. I wish at this very moment I could listen to music and not be distracted from typing. When I fold clothes later, I'll probably be watching or listening to something.
It's like I have to bury my thoughts in crap as often as possible. This, I believe, is one (maybe THE) reason I haven't got an idea for this week's blog. I've allowed very little time for God's still small voice to speak to me. I've allowed very little time for him, period.
There's a reason God inspired the psalmist to say "He says, 'Be still and know that I am God" (Ps. 46:10). No one sits still anymore. I'm not convinced they ever did. I wonder what they used to drown out God's voice in Jesus' time. Now we have televisions, computers, mp3 players, game systems, fancy phones, theaters, books, etc. Technology is fun, but if we worship it, we are in danger of our growth being stunted. By worship, I mean put it before the Lord, God who should be our Almighty.
So, pray I listen more. And if you have this issue, at least you know you're not alone. =)
