“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Monday; December 10, 2007

 

          Isn’t it interesting that something our forefathers did for survival is something we do for recreation and relaxation.  Running has become a big-time industry in today’s society; but, honestly running isn’t just a sport, for some it is a lifestyle. 

          It seems that we are all running – constantly on the move – but, the most important question is, “Are we running towards something or away from something?”.  In today’s world our lives are in constant flux.  We move from one stage in life to another, we go from one job to another, we transition from one relationship to another.  While change has become a constant in life, the big issue is are we moving toward a goal or just trying to get away from something causing us trouble.

          When we find ourselves thinking about making a move , let’s ask ourselves if we are consciously plotting our course to find something better or merely trying to escape something uncomfortable.  Remember, without a goal in mind, running might get us somewhere; but, will it really be where we want to end up?

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
