As a kid I don't remember getting bored. Trees beckoned me to climb. Basketballs cried out to be dribbled in the NBA finals of my mind. Comic books and youth novels waited with adventure. I even watched TV.

At 13 I started a relationship with God through Jesus the Christ. Before I had known about God. At 13 he and I became friends. I started reading the Bible, the King James authorized version of the Bible and God made it live. I would read something on the bus to school and that passage would explain a part of my day, crazy exciting! Sermons actually seemed like God speaking to me. All the churchy stuff I had sat through as a kid, now pushed me to the edge of my seat.
What do I do now when I grow bored? Browse Facebook, instead of talk with God. What do I do now when my mind finds an open moment? Pull up a youtube video, instead of opening my Bible. Was all that excitement just for my teenage years? Even as I ask I know the answer, "No."
What do you do when you are bored?
