Well, I will just tell on myself a little....and I can't say it was actually correction exactly, but it was challenging and encouraging!
So....Paul was up visiting his mom for a couple days, the little girls were in bed, Jordan was doing homework in his room, and I was attacking a couch full of clothes to fold. I flipped on the TV, and landed on the final episode of The Bachelor. (I know, I see some of you cringe!) Now, just a note, we hardly watch TV, as our children can attest. Oh, there are the occasional Dirty Jobs or Las Vegas Pawn Shop or History channel special Paul likes, but usually it ain't on! So, I don't know why I was drawn to watch the last show...I haven't watched any of the others. Anyway, so I am watching as this guy is in a quandry on which one to pick because he likes them both! (and I was wondering to myself how trustworthy he could be, and how could a woman want someone that was trying out all the other ones at the same time) Then Jordan comes out of his room for a breather and asks me why I was even watching that trash! Gulp! I don't know...I'm bored? There was more discussion that followed, but I have to admit that I was brought up short. And it gave me pause for thought...even if it is just a moment in time and not a habit, what am I filling my mind or time with? Whose watching my choices?
Philippians 4:8 Whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. (The Bachelor is none of those!)
Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.
Thank you, Jordan, for sharpening me!
