VIRB

I have been thinking a lot about this disorder, and I wonder if we are merely labeling the natural reaction of a human being placed within a culture where they are constantly bombarded with info, and things to entertain themselves. Obviously, some people are better at dealing with this bombardment more than others, but I really do believe that for the most part, this is not a disorder, but the natural response to a massive amount of stimulae. This certainly makes me think about the amount information I try to jam into my brain on a daily basis. And I wonder if I too have ADD to a certain degree. Maybe we should all just turn off our T.V.s, and radios/CD players/mp3 players and stop spending a lot of time on the internet. If we want to be able to find focus, this may be what we (including myself) need. I think if I didn't have all this input into my life from so many sources, I wonder if I would be able to hear my God better. I certainly would believe that is the case, and probably is the case for other believers in this culture (not to say that is the case for those reading this, if indeed someone is). I don't know, I guess what needs to be done in my life is to stop feeding so much on various sources outside of Christ, and find my sustinence in Him. Isaiah 55:1-2 says it best,
"Come, all you who are thirsty,
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.
Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and your soul will delight in the richest of fare."
So I guess this blog post has turned from a commentary on ADD to a post about finding our (my) spiritual (and intellectual) sustinence in God. Weird. Oh well.
