NO! THIS IS NOT A SURVEY. This is actually from my morning devos awhile ago. It’s really nice, and I’d like to share it. I couldn’t find the “devo of the day” on the internet, so I just typed it here instead. Yes, effort. HAHA. It’s for God naman eh, so okay lang.

Title: Stare Crazy
Lesson: Being bored is not an excuse for bad behavior.
Verse: Ephesians 2:6-10
Article by: Tom Felten

{ There’s a new craze for bored bar patrons- staring contests. Yep, the thing you did in elementary school is back!

The ground rules are familiar: Two people stare into each other’s eyes until someone blinks, looks away, talks, or smiles. One match participant described reaching 2 minutes in a match as the “Dry Eye Death Phase.” (The American Academy of Ophthalmologists does not recommend staring contests.)

Some matches last beyond a quarter of an hour. That sound like something not only painful, but really, well… boring.

It’s easy to poke fun at people involved in staring competitions (just don’t poke them in the eye). It’s hard, however, to look ourselves “in the eye” and ask what we’re doing with our boredom.

Idle time can make for some poor decisions. If you’re alone, it can be a time when temptation hits the hardest. Likewise, when we’re in a group and there’s “nothing to do,” the choices for attempting to cure the boring-bug can be poor. It’s so easy to run out and pick up a nasty flick or engage in an activity that isn’t good for our spiritual health.

Instead, when boredom hits you, remember the following exciting realities:
1. You are precious to God: You are “God’s workmanship”- literally, His work of art.
2. You have been created to do good works: God has prepared in advance the amazing things He wants you to do.

When we grasp these truths about our relationship with God, it can help us beat boredom. We recognize that just as we are precious to God, we have precious little time on this earth to serve Him. Motivation replaces stagnation as we seek to be used by Him to touch others’ lives in positive ways.

Also, we will begin weeding out unfulfilling, ungodly activities from those we know will be “good works” in Jesus’ eyes. And what about staring? Turn your eyes on Jesus! }


**Yeah! I agree. So… instead of doing weird surveys and shoes-ing on online shops…. No wait, I’ll take that back. HAHA. Shoes-ing is not a result of bordomness alright? Where the heck did I get that shoes-ing term anyway? Another Phoebe term. HAHA. So yeah, that’s my morning devo of the day. I wonder what's in store for me, as I do my evening devos later.
