WELCOME BACK
I have read more than a few times that there have been studies showing what is contributing to children that are diagnosed with attention deficit disorder. Hours in front of the television causes them to believe life is supposed to be faster than it really is. So their frustrations increase, the only communication they seem to relate to is animation, and because of the fantasy land that they have adopted as a second home when they are not in front of the tv they are talking about what they watched or acting out what they viewed.
Some of the FAMILY MATTERS and the lack thereof can be contributed to the fantasy land that adults live in. Where are they receiving most of their instruction and mentorship from? Could it be from the most popular shows?? Wil and Grace, NCIS, CSI, SVU, Survivor, American Idol, Exteme Makeovers, the Reality show or Home Improvement? Why are spouses unable to live up to false expectations? Has the person they married morphed into someone that perceives the reality of their life through a screen? And then real life does not satisfy the make believe world placed on one anothers performance. If someone were to monitor the actual time spent between family members in a household or a couple in a marriage relationship-- they might get the message that Family does not matter and there are no home imrovements when people invest their time in electronics more than they do in the hearts of those they claim to love.
In reality, people must make a conscious effort to care enough to communicate with one another, and they must continually actively refuse to be distracted by entertainment and other vices. Those who choose to give themselves to one another and allow themselves to be known, on a daily basis, find that there is no substitute for truly living. It is a daily choice. Love is a choice. If you are questioning whether or not you are actually 'home' when you are home these days, be thankful that your conscience is waking up from the coma you have been in...Welcome Back.
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us." Hebrews 12:1
