So my brain…um…….computer got a virus the other day. Yes, it seems like it is my brain! Most of you I’m sure know how frustrating it can be when this happens to our world of electronics. Everything I do is on my computer! My schedule, email, phone numbers, websites, etc. are all on my computer! So I took it to the computer doctor to see what he can do. In the midst of all this excitement, I begin to think about how in the world I got a virus! Possibly a website I went on. Maybe an email I recieved from someone. Could it be a hacker? Well, I’ll probably never know but I do know that my computer is messed up and I need it fixed. Aren’t my computer problems alot like life?
We may be going through this life, day by day, getting things done through our normal routine and all of a sudden it hits us! The color of life seems to be fading. The mouse of energy is running slower. The screen of attitude can’t keep up with the people we deal with constantly and so we carry ourselves, all messed up, to the doctor. ‘Doc, what’s wrong?’ We say. ‘Well Mr. Gray, you have a virus.’ So the good doctor takes his pen out and scribbles down some unlegable something on a little sheet of paper and off we go to get the medicine he thinks we need.
Physically, electronically, mechanically, we understand how to read the signs most of the time and we usually know where to go. The doctor, tech guy or mechanic can heal our wounds and most of the time our diseases in these areas but friend, what about spiritually? Where do you go? I want to leave you today pondering this question because this week we are going to focus on where you go when the spiritual viruses begin to take over. My laptop should be fixed by tomorrow, and hopefully those sorry viruses will be gone.
