the enemy of best is good

there are lots of things that are good, but few that are best for us…

for example: playing bejeweled at three in the morning is good (stress relief), but probably studying for my midterm tomorrow would be best

sometimes i get the feeling that life is just a routine… like where’s the LIFE in it? it’s like a bejeweled game… maybe the first few times are entertaining, but after a while it’s like self-torture… you hate yourself for repeatedly pressing that cursed “play” button and start to resent that absurdly low “go” voice… and when you close your eyes you see jewels blowing up in your head and before you know it it’s 3 hours later and you’re no where closer to accomplishing anything of value (unless you consider climbing the ranks of facebook bejeweled valuable, which, let’s face it, if you’re wasting your time reading my blog, you probably do)… you find yourself in an inescapable routine of start and go and no matter how hard you try, you’re basically right back where you started.  but there’s more to life… there’s gotta be…

maybe the problem is not that we’re not ever satisfied, but that we’re too easily satisfied.

maybe i should stop filling my time, mind, and heart with all the good and seek for the best.

Remember, God has the best to offer… seek Him first and all these things shall be given unto you.

moral of the story: bejeweled is the devil’s work.
