perspective

We know that whatever we think about, whatever we do, molds the perspective through which we view our days.

Watching an action movie makes me feel like I could, at any time, be called upon to take part in a high-speed chase as I drive home from the theater.

The thoughts in my head sometimes take on the tone or vocabulary of whatever book I've been reading.

Christians experience notorious short-term spiritual highs after attending a regional conference or going on a short-term mission trip.

As time passes, the effects often fade. Routine settles back in and we have school, jobs, TV shows and whatever else to fill in our time. Our routine colors our minds the way Bruce Willis movies do. So I guess what this post is about is this question: "What is molding my perspective?"

What am I pouring into my mind? How am I spending these precious moments God has given me? What am I thinking about? What am I learning? What needs to be enhanced and encouraged, and what needs to change?
