Priorities

September 9th, 2008 · 3 Comments · Parenting

I was just reading the bulletin from the parish down the street.  (Ours isn’t the one just down the street, but that’s a whole other story). Anyway, I thought this was worth repeating.

What Would Happen if We Treated Our
Bibles Like We Treat OurCell Phones?
What if we carried it around in our purse or pockets?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn’t live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
What if we used it when we traveled?
What if we used it in case of emergencies?
This is something to make you go…hmmmm…where is my
Bible?
Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don’t
have to worry about our Bible being disconnected, because
Jesus already paid His bill. And no dropped calls!
Makes you stop and think, “Where are my priorities?”

    Love this. I may have to copy it to my blog - wait does anyone read my blog that doesn’t read yours?
