How the iPad brought me closer to God

It’s true. With a tap, swipe, and an Internet connection, the iPad is changing the world in how we consume information. Being a Christian for more than 20 years and soon-to-be a decade old Pastor, believe it or not but my iPad brought me closer to the Lord.

PASSION DEVELOPS DURING CHALLENGES

Welcome to DAY SIX of my SEVEN DAY CHALLENGE. Imagine that. I’m on my second to the last day of the challenge. I couldn’t believe it too.

One of the things I’ve noticed these past six days is that I developed a certain passion for blogging. Not that I didn’t have it before (since I’m one of the first who tried blogging way back when dial-up internet was cool) but I’ve found a new sense of passion for it today. I think that is what happens when you spend time on something. Passion begins. (more…)

PURPOSE DEFINES THE CHALLENGE

You are reading DAY FIVE of my SEVEN DAY CHALLENGE: Blogging for seven days. For those who are reading my posts, thank you. It is a quiet way of appreciating what I do although it would be nice if you would comment.

On this fifth day, I would like to talk about PURPOSE. When starting a good habit like this, you do need to define WHY you are doing it in the first place. Is it to prove a point? Are you doing just because its fun? Or is there something bigger? (more…)

With three blog entries under my belt and this one being the fourth, I can say that I am halfway with my challenge. And with that, my mind is starting to play tricks on me. That part of my brain where it starts telling my entire being to start being complacent. Ever hear that small voice (which is very different from that small voice that you know comes from God)?

“You’ve already done three. Why not take a rest today.”
“Skip this one. It won’t hurt.”
“You could always start over, you know.”

Even as I type this, my eyelids are not cooperating. It’s getting heavier by the keystroke. Seems like distractions are kicking in. And, this is part of the whole process of starting a good habit. (more…)

CONSISTENCY IS A BIG LEAP TO A GOOD HABIT

Welcome back. This is DAY THREE of the SEVEN DAY CHALLENGE.

Three straight days with an entry each. For a guy who hasn’t been blogging for months, I’m doing pretty good. Apologies for giving myself a personal pat on the back but it is something to be commended. And everybody is asleep as I type this so no one can pat my back for me.

Blogging for the next seven days will never be a reality unless you have CONSISTENCY.
