Download Podcast Over the years my husband and I have learned that if we want to keep our relationship alive we have to make each other a priority. We have to keep doing the things we know works. It is essential that we talk and listen…not just listen, but listen attentively. We have to forgive,  love and give generously. My husband has taught me the importance And the truth is the really important stuff have to stay a priority.  Most important relationship can grow stale. The truth is our relationship with God can grow stale too. It’s not that we exactly stop loving Him or anything like that, it’s just that life piles in on us. And, before we know it we are over committed and over whelmed. It is so easy to skip the things that are not tied to a due date or an emergency. Prayer. Bible Study. Worship. All fall in that category. Necessary. Essential even, but if we aren’t careful can lose their place on our schedule. I believe Mark 12:29-30 holds a very important key to keeping important things a priority. “Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The LORD our God is the one and only LORD. 30And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’ Have you ever really looked at the words in that verse? And while I memorized the verse years ago, I missed the words…”all your mind.” Somehow I didn't realize that my spirit (heart and soul), mind (thoughts) and body (strength) were all involved  and worked together in the loving process.  A Sad truth... I loved God with all my heart…but because I let my emotions get in the way, there was some areas that I didn’t obey Him. I can wrap my disobedience in all kinds of pretty excuses, but it’s still sin. Lately, I’ve learned I need to love God with my mind too. Emotional maturity is shaped out of mental maturity 1 Corinthians 14:20 NIV Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults.  How do children think? They think it’s fun to play in the street. They think the wall is a great place to draw and they think they should stick sharp things into the outlets. And what they believe will get them in big trouble. Their thinking is influenced by their lack of knowledge and their immaturity.  So what does a parent do? Parents train their children. They guide them. They give them facts and a value system that guides them in making right choices instead of simply reacting.  Train your mind like you would a child. 1 Timothy 4:7 But reject irreverent and silly myths. Instead, train yourself for godliness. As a believer, the thoughts and ideas that shape our beliefs and attitudes must be filtered through truth. I know a lady that loved her mother deeply, but nothing she did could change what that mother believed. She believed a lie and that lie kept her from having a relationship with her daughter. Pain from the mother’s childhood deceived her heart. The first sin came as a result of deception. Deception continues to be a dangerous trap. That is why it is so important to make Scripture a priority in your life.  I know all to well how easy that we can become so busy that it is difficult to find time to nourish our thinking with God's Word. With technology we have the opportunity to turn precious moments into spiritual nourishment, reminders and goads that get us back on track. If you are like me, podcasts are one of those ways to learn and grow while I drive or clean house.   New Podcast That’s why I'm starting a new podcast. I want to give you regular reminders, encouragement, stories and illustrations to build your faith and help you stay connected with God. I want to help you stoke your fire and I want to help you keep your relationship with God a priority. It's called Pat's View.  Click here to listen on iTunes. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast so you don't miss anything.   I'll be launching it in the next few days.  It will be a 21 day focus on "Thinking God's Way for a Change." I don’t know where you are in your walk with God, but I’m hungry for more of  Him. I want my life to bring glory to God. If I want change, I must change what I believe. I must base my life on truth, not public opinion. Let me explain with one of our adventures. We were making our way home from a conference in Kansas when we decided to stop in Jackson, MS to see their capitol building. Built in 1903 in the ornate Beaux Arts style. Like 30 other state capitol buildings it had a large magnificent dome that crowns the building regally. I love the mindset of the Architect Theodore Link, “The style adopted is a pure renaissance classic of dignity and elegance of proportion which will fittingly express the power, honor, and stability of the State.  more from flickr.com Twelve of the capitol buildings in the U.S. choose a totally distinct style and left off the dome entirely. That would break ...
