thinking out loud

i pretty good friend of mine has decided to cut his internet connection. he's doing this because it makes him counter-productive with his and his wife's relationship with god. he'll spend hours (like i'm doing now) online, instead of as he would say "ministering to his wife".

my question is, could my involvement in my church be counter-productive to my spiritual growth? i haven't met too many people that are completely happy with their jobs. and i'm willing to bet that most people think about the things they don't like about their jobs the minute they walk into the door. now imagine that same feeling about the place that was designed to be different than that. the place that you should be able to focus on god and how awesome he is. well i don't think that when i go to my church. i think about my responsibilities. i think about things that bother me. that i don't agree with. that i think are hypocritical.

i don't think it's wrong to have the internet. but i think that if the internet is a distraction, then it needs to go.

i can't blame my church for my frustrations. i can only blame myself for letting them get to me and distract me. and if i can't control my thoughts while i'm there, then maybe i shouldn't be there... but who knows.
