It's July 4th weekend - the one weekend when all anyone can think about is the beach, fireworks and a good old fashioned BBQ. And to be fair, that's all Katharine is thinking about, too...though she prefers her meat raw. She's even brought a bratty little sister along to join her at the table: Betsy. Betsy is a (slightly) smaller Great White Shark also presently calling the Gulf of Mexico home. She's moving a little slower than Katharine, but don't be fooled - she's just as real. This Thelma & Louise-like duo is taking our warm waters by storm, and I'm sure the rest of the shark "fuzz" won't be far behind. If your shark villain is going to have a distinguishing scar, do not make it a lightning bolt on its forehead, a la Harry Potter.
An idle mind is the devil’s playground because you simply have more time to think if you’ve got nothing on your mind, or if you’re physically inactive. That’s not good since our bodies are made to move around, and having time to spare allows our mind to wander off.
The key to accessing God’s presence and God’s power to overcome the schemes of the enemy is through prayer. There’s an old expression that says: seven days without prayer makes one weak. Several other sayings or expressions convey a similar sentiment: "idle brain is the devil's workshop." While I could opine on this subject for hours, I will narrow my focus down to the top three foods cucumbers ruin for me on a daily basis: Be it toddlers, adolescents, adults, or geriatrics, anyone’s mind will turn into a mush staying inactive for a longer duration. Something wrong can happen does not mean one should stop enjoying life because we can majorly prevent many unfortunate situations with slight tweaks. Read on to understand the concept profoundly and its possible preventions. The extended meaning of the concept “An idle mind is the devil’s workshop.” Idle people can never line themselves up with the will of God for their lives. Knowing God's will requires deliberate effort, and obeying God's will requires even more effort. Busybodies who throw themselves into meaningless pursuits will never be able fulfill the will of God in their lives.
LAIR OF THE MEGA SHARK: On Stewart Island, off the coast of New Zealand, stories have circulated about a giant Great White, a possible monster-size shark, and a group of researchers, including shark experts Jeff Kurr and Andy Casagrande, set out to find it. It suggests that we're more susceptible to negative thoughts or actions when our minds aren't constructively engaged. I have not been more than ankle deep in the ocean in over eight years. Some people think that's ridiculous, but I think it's realistic. You see, the sharks and I have reached an understanding - they don't come into my realm and I certainly do my best to stay out of theirs. And guess what? I have had exactly zero shark bites (way to keep up your end of the bargain, sharks!). The whole not-evolving-to-the-point-of-growing-legs-and-an-ability-to-breathe-out-of-the-water thing is their part of the bargain (you're welcome, humans). And the number one shark keeping me out of the water (other than the Great White, which will get its own, much-deserved post another day): Megalodon. We can only ponder about so many things at the same time. As a result, we tend to think about what’s most critical to our survival and personal wellbeing at that very time. That’s likely about the most pressing matters.As Christians who were given salvation, forgiveness and life through the shed blood of Jesus Christ; we must realise that we are not our own anymore. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says, "You are not your own; you were bought at a price." An idle brain is the devil's workshop. A young man idle, an old man needy. A little neglect may breed a great deal of mischief."
