Thinking outside of the proverbial box

A thought I recently thunk. If the books that we read are books that we especially like because they are what we call, “outside the box thinkers” then who do they read? Is there some kind of library or Amazon that they shop at that the rest of us don’t have access to? Do they read old books and then repackage them as if they are new and fresh. Or thirdly, are they just merely thinking outside the box because God has gifted them to do so. It is a well, or little known fact, depending on who you are that Alexander Campbell, one of the original thinkers in the Restoration Movement, would go away for a time of solitude and thinking and only take his Bible, concordance, and a notepad. In order to allow God to speak boldly and clearly without the infiltration of stale human thought. I believe the Millennial Harbinger is evidence that Campbell could think and hear God in a fresh way.
So riddle me this who does, Groeschel, McManus, Sweet, and the others read?

Text Crazy?!

So what has happened to privacy these days? I’ve realized through various conversations with friends, family, and teens that phone etiquette went away with 90’s. It has become painfully obvious that to text someone even in the middle of the night has somehow become socially acceptable.

Just today I received a shaking of my hip to tell me that I had a phone call, which I had to ignore due to my current surroundings. Only to then be beckoned once more a moment later by that all to familiar shaking of said hip, to notify me of a waiting voice-mail. So all is well, I thought I’ll check the voice-mail when I get a moment away. Then, low and behold another shake, what is it this time I thought, but a text message from the same individual. Not that I mind technology and all but have we become slaves to the very thing that we think we can’t live without?

We need to really consider that anti-technology day.

Perhaps that would be something worth fasting from?
