• Distract Me!

    By Sam at Creative Theology I have a need to be distracted. I’ll take distraction in pretty much any form, but the most prevalent is entertainment. I need to be entertained. The need goes against most of what I want to feel inside. I want to be focused, intentional, and create a body of wo…
  • Twitter: The New Facebook?

    Back in November, as part of weight loss motivation, I deactivated my Facebook and used it as a reward for reaching my first goal weight. It helped cut out A LOT of distractions and drama that I was constantly being dragged into. Now, I'm not going to lie. I love reading the occasional Facebook bla…
  • It takes all kinds.

    There are distractions which keep us from thinking, then there are distractions which keep us from not thinking.
  • Where did this year go?

    My last post was in March? Really? Life goes so fast with so many things filling it. Yet, when it comes down to it we/I am the one that chooses the priorities of things by what I chose to do. Yet, with Xanga, sometimes I may not know what to write or say. Sometimes, I learn what I am thinking…
  • When Facing Distractions, Have Hope

    My past weekend went real well compared to the past few weeks. God has been trying very desperately to pull me back towards him. I have been very distracted, glancing at every little thing thrown my way, when God was the one holding my hand all along. I should have been looking at where he is leadin…
  • Distractions: Detours from Your Destiny

    When we think of the word “distracted”, we think of someone who had plans who lets a slightly more temporarily interesting thing cause him to pause from getting directly to that plan. A distraction is not necessarily planning to intentionally detour you from your plans. It’s not n…
  • distracted TWAMP

    So, a lot has happened since i last posted. What's new, right? I've started a couple of new obsession streaks. Don't get me wrong, i am and always will be a Harry Potter + Arashi fangirl of ridiculous, but recently, because of my inability to concentrate on something for more than a few hours, i hav…
  • Sorry I didn't post yesterday.…

    Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I was distracted. I bought Sims 3 pets! Yay! Best game ever. It completely takes your mind off everything. Food, school, family, life. I love alternative realities. I used to rely on my own mind for such numbing fantastical distractions. Now I can waste hours in front…
  • THE WEE SMALL HOURS

    I am borrowing the title of a 1955 song composed by David Mann and Bob Hilliard and plaintively sung by Sinatra in his album of the same name, in which he mourns a lost love. Presumably he couldn't sleep either. Insomniacs do what they can to get through the night. Tonight Turner Classic movies sh…
  • Crawling Off the Altar Again

    I do not know from what song this line is taken, but it serves as a modern day reminder of our fickleness and inability to sustain long term enterprises; "When I have crawled off the altar again ... inspire me to serve you again!" This reflects some of Paul’s thinking in his letter to the Roma…
