'No officer, I don't want to kill anyone on the sidewalk, I was just trying to share the road with that cyclist.'
I finally got to get behind the wheel again this morning, although I kinda had to drive with my left foot ( I borrowed my brother's automatic). :oD It was very nice to get into town... and be reminded of how dangerous the roads are on saturdays. I stopped by and said Hello to David, in at his church... (I'm glad you're home bro... missed you. :o) And I picked up some bacon and lean ground beef, and managed to get out of Thriftys without destroying anything (parking lot included).
I was thinking as I drove home about how easily I push God out of my mind. It puzzles me in a way... When I've got a really close friend, that person stays in my mind for alot of the time. I imagine what they'd say to different things I encounter, I picture their reactions to things, and even wish they were there with me to help me through interesting situations. Yet, God, who is with me always... I can completely forget about. :oO David was telling me about some things at camp, and he mentioned this guy, of whom he said prayer was the most important thing to him.
It wasn't really a new concept to me... (you and I have talked about it a number of times, Sarah) I know prayer should be something I habitually do. But I don't... How can I change that? I guess it's like I said... a habit. Thankfully Will doesn't have a CD deck in his car, so I didn't have any music on, and it gave me the chance to just talk openly and honestly with God about how I need to think of Him always. I want to be 'best friends' with Jesus... to the point where I start imagining Him beside me through every little detail of life.
*chuckles* Ashamedly, I have to admit, I would have tended to look at someone who talked with God always, no matter who is around, as being so out of touch or so lonely that the only person they could be close to was God. You know... kinda like the crazy old prospectors, in the movies, with the crow on their shoulder...
But in all seriousness... We are out of touch (and generally lonely) when we do not allow God to fill our thoughts. I wish I didn't care if people thought I was crazy for suggesting to pray in any circumstance... But I want to have God on my mind. I want to pray instictively... always.
...anyways... here we have a boy with a propensity for rambling... :oD
I should get on with my saturday I suppose. We've got a Youth Group meeting thing tonight, but for the rest, I think it's english. ;o)
Hope everyone is doing well! God bless!
