and curse the bars.
The funniest (and saddest) thing in all the world is to hear people arguing about whether God exists or not. Without God, who could argue?
Some people don't believe in God. Some people don't see the magic in the universe. Some people think they understand life. These ones will never become travellers (though they will gaze through the windows of their luxury bus aquariums and think they have been somewhere).
Being lost is a wound of humanity which everyone carries but nobody shows. Like death, it's kept behind closed doors for fear it should spread.
The awareness of being lost is a great gift, the treasure of the poor and the humble. If nurtured carefully, it brings forth the shoots of a life that will never die.
The cautious stay at home and die by degrees in front of their television sets. Jesus said that if you guard your life against threat it slips away from you, but if you let go and follow the adventure, you never lose it.
But now that we're no longer shackled to that domineering mate of sin, and out from under all those oppressive regulations and fine print, we're free to live a new life in the freedom of God.
[Romans 7:6 The Message]
I'm simply trying to point out that under your new Master you're going to experience a marvelous freedom you would never have dreamed of. On the other hand, if you were free when Christ called you, you'll experience a delightful "enslavement to God" you would never have dreamed of.
[1 Corinthians 7:22 The Message]

Thanks for your reply Jørund!
Yes, the tv and the pc can become timeconsuming addictions. There is always the risk of spending too much time behind a screen and too little with friends and families in the real world. And you are right, we really have to sort out our priorities in life when we spent too little time with our Lord and his great Book.
I will check out the site from Erling Thu. Thanks again!
Blessings
Paul
