Mindfulness

I’m thinking about thinking differently and in a new way. I’m thinking about engaging and disengaging is some matters of thought. There are the obvious and ongoing battles of the mind. There are thoughts we must constantly abandon. Think lust, greed, fear, envy, and rage. There are also thoughts I need to renew. Think Bible memory, things listed in Philippians 4, pure, lovely, excellent, and praiseworthy things. It might also mean being more mindful: Thinking about where I lay my phone. Not zoning out when I’m talking with someone who might be boring me. Being present in the moment and not trying to do two things at once. That kind of mindfulness pleases God and honors our creator who has made us and given  us our reason and all our senses: our minds.
