 Lord, I desire nothing else. A great adventure before me, for Jesus came, and set me free.

Our appetites are very much shaped by what we satisfy them with. If wealways drink a Coke when we’re thirsty, what we will start longing for when we’re thirsty? Coke. If we always eat cheese puffs when we’re hungry, what wewill start longing for when we’re hungry? Cheese puffs. In the same way, if we always surf the Internet when we’re bored, what will we start longing for when we’re bored? Surfing the Internet.
You see, we don’t get nourished, we just satisfy the feelings of boredom. But that just makes our minds more hungry,so we surf the internet a little bit longer next time (maybe a little bit deeper too). We’re constantly ruining our appetite for activities that grow godly character and competence, and then we wonder why they seem “boring” or“uninteresting” to us. This is a call for action. It’s a crisis and an opportunity. A crisis, because we cannot afford to continue appeasing our mind with junk food. An opportunity, because by guarding what we feed our mind when we are bored, we can shape its appetite to long for what strengthens and nourishes it. The more we do that, the more we will enjoy completing our God-given responsibilities and the more great things we will accomplish. Excerpt from "Bored? Read this!" 4:24 PM
