P-ADD (percieved)

This morning I was running out in the middle of nowhere when suddenly there appeared an over-the-hill motorcycle gang. This always irritates me because they seldom have mufflers and it is deafening. Not only that, but they often have 3 headlights and they seem to be on bright, sometimes blinding me in broad daylight. I met a guy on a Goldwing the other day and his were flashing. I started to pull over thinking it was a cop. I got to thinking; What's wrong with people nowadays? It's like everybody is screaming, "look at me, I'm not getting enough attention." I can further support my case:

And:

And

Now, I have a big mouth and sometimes like to think I say cute things so I guess I must feel like I need attention too. I remember from children that often the ones that need attention the most are the ones who deserve it the least. It just reminds me to love everyone whether I think they deserve it or not. It'll take a lifetime for me to apply what the Bible says in Romans: God demonstrates His love for me in that while I was still a sinner Christ died for me. And in another place: Christ came to save sinners and I'm the worst.

Have you ever seen something happening and instantly figured out the whole senario including what led up to it? Well on July 4 this happened to me. I heard a siren and thought, "mm, fireworks". I drove several blocks to see a fire truck sitting in the driveway of a Walmart with the door open and no-one in there. The bubble-gum machine was still on. I thought, "what on earth are they doing?" As I drove on I saw the fireman with his walkie-talkie stuck in his back pocket pushing just as fast as he could, a big guy in a hoveround with a "Big Gulp" in the cup holder down to some nearby apartments. The way I figure it Buba decides to run down to the "Walmarts" for a drink. His battery runs down so he simply calls his handy 911 for a push home on his cell phone...Your tax $$$ at work, and no, Tim I'm not cussing.

Conclusion

Romans 12:1-2

With this in mind, Brothers and sisters, I would urge you to throw caution to the wind and let God's astounding mercy motivate you to worship Him to the extent that you would present your very bodies to Him as a living, holy sacrifice, longing to please Him by no longer conforming to this world's way of thinking but letting His ways transform your mind to operate according to His perfect, fulfilling plan.
