I finally got to see Phantom on Broadway! It was soo o o o good that i wanted to hide out in the theater or have them start over when they were done or something. And I got to eat at Roscoe's Chicken N Waffles... holy monkey that's good food. Whoever came up with that idea is one smart cookie.
But anyway, the play was awesome. It was very well done and the performers did really well. The crazy thing was that about three quarters of the way through, i completely spaced out in the middle of a great song and my brain went crazy thinking... does anyone else ever have that happen... is it easier to think at nighttime? Im pretty sure it must be.
Anyways, this all went down after my Wednesday Communication (aka preaching) class. It's so encouraging to go to class and get the opportunity to hear 6 of your peers encourage you with what God has been teaching them through the Scriptures. Something that seemed to be a common theme last night came back in the middle of that play. It was a question of how often we can't stop talking about the computer game that we're playing, or the schoolwork that we have due, or whatever distraction that Satan has us thinking about (even good things fall into this category). I was blown away by how easily i can get hooked on talking about my problems or sports or girls, and how rarely i run the rabbit trail of God-centered conversation.
The cool thing was that it came up when i would least expect it. It wasn't while i was silently pondering the mysteries of the universe. It was in the middle of something i was enjoying completely. God decided to use that time, my time if you will, to remind me that all time is His time and He wants to be a larger part of my thoughts and conversation. It wasn't epic or writing on the wall. If was just a subtle thought. Now i just need to pray that He will help me to act on it. That's the best part. Without His help, I have no chance of pulling that off.
