Sometimes when you sit down to write, you aren't even sure what to write. I don't think it is writer's block, it is just one of those days where spirituality is not on the surface. Today wasn't a bad day- I managed to deal with a "bug" in my code that had long eluded me and so I am quite pleased to have gotten rid of it. I read the last four chapters of Acts today, but nothing awe inspiring stood out from that. I guess you could say today is an above average day with little to write home about.

I think our challenge is to accept that we will have days like this or worse. Days where all we do is what we are supposed to do and we don't go out to eat or rent a movie or meet a major goal or anything- the sort of day that given too many of which, might lead us into sin or other bondage in trying to cope with the boredom. It is a challenge living these ordinary days, isn't it? Perseverance isn't easy for anyone. It is particularly tough when we give ourselves seasons where we just get whatever we want. I think most people have experienced this phenomena. You just want to feel good, and so for a short or long season you spoil yourself, giving in to various desires in excess of what a disciplined life should. And then, when you come to your senses, you stop it but now things have changed. Now life has to titillate the senses, now the ordinary is not enough. The consequence of an undisciplined life is discontentment when you do decide to be disciplined and it takes a long time to come to grips with the ordinariness of life. Or maybe you just continue gratifying certain desires and avoid some of the boredom?
