can you pictuer this?

I have been thinking about this lately and thought to share it here for what it may be worth.
For what someone may learn or glean from it.

So here's what I have been thinking and wondering. I am thinking about Paul in the Bible.
I am thinking about his great ministry to others. His great love to God and his such great love and devotion to spread the Word to others. How he travled around all over, with many, many hard ships to spread the Word of God. He's such an inspiration to us.
Anyway in that thought of him and his witnessing and writing letters to the churches and the people.
I can just a bout picture him with a lap-top on his lap while sitting in prison. And writing his letters that way. I could emagine how productive that may be in his ministry. Mass letters to many at all one time.
I can almost pictuer him putting our mordern tool into high prodution for the work of the Lord.

It seemed that in all he did he did so greatly for the Lord. Why wouldn't he use this tool for the Glory of the Lord.
I can so pictuer that. Can you?

But now pictuer this. Pual sitting in front of a T.V. , or portable DVD player, or maybe playing games on his lap-top; wasting away hours upon hours. I mean he is just stuck in prison anyway. Why not. You got to pass time some how don't you? He doesn't want to get borded. Gota have a little entertaiment now again after all. That gives live spice. Maybe his friends good even gather with him and have movie night.

Can you really pictuer that?
I can not. I have tryed so hard to pictuer it, and I just can't. Maybe just one or two movie nights a week or one a month, but I still can't pictuer it.
There is no way he would waste any time at all that way. There is no way he would loose valuable time that could be spent writing letters and ministering. Yes even while stuck in prison. Prison seemed to just open a whole new door for him. It wasn't a place to sit and sulk and waste time. It was awhole new ministry field.
He used his time so wisely.

Shouldn't we spend our time wiesly too? Does our time mean anything to God anyway? Does it matter to him how its spent ?

Now we may not have others to minister to as Pual did, but we have our children. As moms thats our top ministry. And i think we would be surprised at who all around us we could reach out to and give our time too if we just would.

This is has been so very heavy on mind latly and I feel God has put it there for a reason. So i am passing it on.
I would love to hear any of your thoughts on this.
Blessings In Christ, Mae
