I figure the most important things we should make a list
of. They should be recorded not for our
benefit but for the history of it.
My dad didn’t make lists very often so when he did you knew
it was important. He kept most things in his mind. He was a sharp guy for
sure. I try to do the same thing but I
am not sure I have the same success rate.
I remember as a kid a slogan I saw on ads often. They said, “The
mind is a terrible thing to waste”. It
was put on by The Negro College Fund. Of course, they were trying to raise
money to send black young people to college. It was catchy because I still
remember it.
Yesterday I decided to do a search for it. I found the slogan
came out of the Bible. They referenced Romans 8:5-8 which speaks of living
according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires, but
those who live in accordance with the Spirit set their minds on the things of
the Spirit. It makes me not want to waste
my mind on unimportant things.
This is really something to think about. Go ahead write and
put down on paper what is important. Amen!
