Downloading
This year I have a new habit...maybe you could call it an addiction. I download a lot of music. Living here in West Africa, its not the easiest thing to get the latest music...or even the really old stuff. So I go to walmart.com and type in the artist or song and bam, there is the music....$.88/song. Tonight I downloaded a CD that I have wanted for some time, I like the whole CD so I just hit the button that said "Download full album". Its so easy. And so tempting so often. Music is a way that I praise God...so I justify my purchases and attempt not to go overboard in my buying them. Trying to be a good steward of my money and all that. :) So right now my new CD is downloading...and I was thinking, wow, I wish I could just click a button and my heart would be changed. Click another button and my fears would be erased. Click another and my attitude would be changed. Just wait a few minutes and bam, there it is, just like new. But its not so easy. But it easier than I let it be often. I don't get to click a button...but I get to go to Jesus with my burdens and He takes them. All I have to do is go to Him. That's pretty cool. And I don't have to pay anything, its all free. Wow. I guess this isn't such a bad deal...sin stinks and so do its consequences...but grace is there. Just waiting to be chosen, not unlike all this music that is so readily available.
