The Dr.'s Visit

Sitting in a Dr's Office has got to be punishment from God. You have to sit so still and quiet and listen to other people whisper for hours while waiting to see a Dr. who no doubt is going to tell you just how close to dying you are. I have one question, how do they pay for all these magazines, just beside my chair is 5 SI's, 4 Forbes, 2 Life's, 2 Vanity Fair's a Senior Living Newspaper and a Fortune magazine listing the 100 best places to live. Who picks these places by the way? Not a single location in Alabama in the top 50 and only 1 spot on the whole list. I can't believe Clanton didn't make the list. Anyway, back to the Magazines, a 4 Dr office with 20 chairs and at least 400 magazines. Where do they come from and who decides when a magazines life is over? Anyway what's really interesting in all this is that with this well assorted plethora of magazines, some if which are truly interesting reads there isn't a single magazine here that can change your life. Some of them may claim to but do they really, absolutely not. So what I'm finding out is that unlike these magazines, Gods word, the Holy Bible, can really change your life. It's absolutely changing mine and it's amazing. Some lady just walked in with her own magazines, did she really think there wouldn't be any here? Back to the point, Gods word really will change your life. I've been reading 1st Timothy and the encouragement has been amazing. The challenges in Timothy have been very real. It's amazing that something written around 2,000 years ago has a real effect on the life of people in the 21st century. And people want to say Gods not real. The lady with her own magazines phone rings really loud and you have to talk fast because it's prepay, that's what she said, really loudly by the way, gotta be a rule against that in waiting room law somewhere. Anyway, I guess the whole point of this is that Jesus Christ saves you for eternity but that's not the end of life, Gods word changes your life everyday. So, get into Gods word, not Forbes or Sports Illustrated, you'll not regret it!

God Bless!
