Junk Mail Takes Over

September 21st, 2011

 

I’m annoyed at the amount of time I have to spend daily erasing junk mail that has managed to make into my ‘in’ box and not get filtered out. The general content centers on sex or sex enhancement, or “buy these pills now”. Who in their right mind would buy any of these products?

For me these junk emails are distractions, interruptions, or time wasters as I have to wade through them to get to the real emails that require a response.Our email box is not unlike the content and flow of our days. One interruption and distraction after another.

So how do you stay focused on the job at hand? How do you stay present to the Holy Spirit as you walk through your day? How do you determine which distractions are actually appointments that God has set up for you?My prayer is to increase my attentiveness to the work of the Spirit of God throughout my day. Want to join me?

    These questions are the same that I have been dealing with, particularly the last one. I most definitely want to join you in that prayer!

    Hi Anita!

    You may not remember me but we met in a card-making workshop together about a month ago….
    I just wanted to encourage you that meeting you and having fun in the workshop was really an appointment from God. It was much needed in my life at that moment. I appreciate your joyful attitude and willingness to share it. It is so awesome how God sets up divine appointments.

    Take Care

    Isn’t there a filter which can delete these types of email or block them before they arrive to ones inbox???!!!

    Anita,
    Use a spam filter for both your email and your life. Being filled with the Holy Spirit allows him to filter the spam in your life. How? Read the Scriptures!
