Oh The Web We Weave!

I have a new post-it-note on my computer. It simply says:

Word
Before
Web

The insight is not especially deep; the inspiration is lacking, and the construction of the composition is pre-school level at best! So let me explain why this note is important enough for me to be on here blogging about it.

I enjoy facebook, email, and my bookmarked blogs. It is just part of the day to check up on the new entries, post and happenings in the life of people I know. It causes no harm to my day. In fact, often times I find myself praying for people and giving words of encouragement! Ok, maybe sometimes I linger too long or pop in too much, but it is really good stuff!

But then recently I found myself in a two-way, one person, conversation (In other words I was talking to myself!). How is it I can get to the end of the day and have not spent even a moment in the Bible but have spent time on the web? Or why do I sometimes rush through my time with the King of Kings and linger at the computer taking in who is doing laundry today and looking at vacation pictures of people I sometimes don’t even really know? What would happen if I treated my time with Jesus like I do my face book. Anxious to see Him and what is happening, lingering, enjoying, praying, rejoicing and searching? And what would happen if I made time for the creator of the world before the web of the world?

Need I say more! I think not! Word before Web! Not deep, not inspiring and very basic! And right now the most important post-it-note strategically placed on the edge of my computer screen!
