It is not what one does, nor is it what one says, it is what a person thinks that makes them who they are. BUT, what one thinks determines what he will say or do....and we DO WHAT WE VALUE! An oxymoron you say!!!! I believe the Apostle Paul understood the human mind very well. He admonishes us to think on things that are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, etc. Do we truly practice this in our life? Are we more concerned about the latest fashion and if my appearance is desireable, or am I careful that in looking my best I do not place myself as a stumbling block to others? Do we find it easier to talk about our favorite sports team, the newest movie out or the lastest happening in Hollywood than to think or talked about things that will make us a better person and help us to have a greater influence for good? All of us enjoy entertainment. After a long day of work there is nothing better than being with friends, reading a good book, listening to good music, snacking on popcorn and laughing at the antics of Don Knotts, or the Waltons and John Boy. But if entertainment, a way of escape or just plain laziness of thinking constructively and inwardly is where we are, it will be seen or heard by those around you, because what the heart thinketh, the mouth speaketh! What we think on, will characterize our actions and actions speak louder than words. How do we want to be characterized? THINK ABOUT IT!!!!
