I guess I should blog now...

Got nothing better to do with my time really. Well, yesterday was more of the same. I did a nice 12 1/2 hour day yesterday and will do the same today. I actually did have a small assignment to do yesterday but I got it done in like 30 minutes, hehe. Other than that I just surfed the web and then started into reading This Present Darkness by Frank Peretti. I haven't read this in about 10 years, but I remember it being very good. And thus far the first 70 or so pages have been pretty riviting. :) So that was work yesterday. Got home around 7:30, had dinner, played on my computer briefly, had a nice quiet time, then got to bed mighty early for me at about 10:15, so that was nice. But nothing spectacular. My formerly growing blog audience seems to be lagging now that they realize anything exciting in my life has come to an official halt, lol. Same ol, same ol...

Deep Thoughts of the Day:
So I was reading my John MacArthur book last night and one of the points that he made as how to glorify God was to not be discontented with things. This kind of made me think a lot because I seem to be always discontented, especially right now. MacArthur says that if you are discontented with your life, it shows that you don't trust God's soverenty and are questioning His will for your life, which is not glorifying to Him. I thought that was real interesting and I think I need to focus some attention on being content. But at the same time, it raised questions in my mind. When I think of being content, I think of just being happy and going along in life not questioning anything because hey, "it's all good, God's in control." But then, how would anything get accomplished, how would progress be made? It's because of discontent that I question life and change things. For example, my current job situation. If I just was content all the time and not worried about it, would I be here for the rest of my life? It's because I'm discontented that I'm questioning what's good for me and trying to change things. But by doing this am I also questioning God's will? I don't know. And if I just go along in life contented to be single and never made any effort to meet girls, then how could I ever expect to be married? Am I being irreverant to God by being discontented with that too? Those are just two examples, and I'm just not sure. But this had really got me thinking. I guess it must be something where I need to find the balance. Maybe I should be content with my current status in life, but if I feel like God is placing some discontent in my heart, that's when I should start looking for change. Or something. I dunno. This is an interesting subject. :-)

Wow, cool subject. It'd be great to talk about it sometime. Shoot, I had a thought but it's gone. And I need to go. :) So let's talk about it sometime. If I remember I'll tell you.
