No blogging or newsletters have escaped the mooney household over the last couple of weeks. Fact is, I have had this unrelenting flu/cold bug. You know the stuff....cough, chills, fever, aches, etc... Each time I think I am over the hump, it comes roaring back.
Now here is the point. It is amazing how little it takes to disrupt our "will" to be productive. You can shift into netural so easily. I think it has something to do with the law of entropy (2nd law of thermodynamics). To over simplify, everything winds down without a outside infusion of energy! (cold water becomes tepid, hot water becomes tepid, etc). Everything moves toward a preset norm. There must be some energy source to move the object beyound its stagnat norm and keep it there. (all students of science please forgive my butchering of the above...)
Even knuckleheads like me understand the need for this outside energy source. It is God who empowers us and takes us above our fallen norm. Cares of the world, decietfulness of riches, or the desire for other things will disconnect us (at our end only) from listening to and responding to the Holy Spirit who empowers us. We then, absent of this infusion of power, slowly become "tepid water" in things of the Spirit. I guess when we need Him the most we tend to seek Him less.....duh....
just thinking,
