Time for a check-up

Technology... most of the time it is a good thing, you can check in with long lost family and friends and keep in touch with people you don't have the capacity to spend time with (ie., they live across the country) and even save money on toll calls, though nothing takes the place of hearing or seeing a human. Sometimes it can even challenge you in your walk with God. This morning, I got a text message on my cell phone from a friend, that though she lives close we don't talk in person a whole lot. Her text message (I admit, it could have been forwarded from someone else) said: So are you reading your Bible? Are you growing closer to God everyday? Have you told God how much you love Him yet or how much you appreciate what He's done in your life?

Wow. I I have been neglecting my Bible reading this week. It's just what God needed to have me see in the middle of my week to remind me He wants ME to spend time with Him. Instead of turning the radio on at lunch in my car and listening to the annoying Vic the Brick (AM 570) rant about how the Lakers are going to be ranked higher than 7th in the Western Conference this year (in reality, if they rank higher than 8th, I'd be surprised), I'm going to read my Bible.

So, how are YOU doing in your daily Bible reading and prayer?
