I want a mind reader… or maybe not.

Last night I was laying in bed and I had a post all typed out in my head… I knew exactly what I wanted to say, how I wanted to say it, and yet, it’s vanished into thin air.

It was in the midst of “typing” out my thoughts in my head that I once again wished for a “mind reader” – a device that would take the words I’m thinking and turn them into text I could edit on the computer. But even as I wished for such a device, I knew there was wisdom in such a device NOT existing. After all, there are a lot of thoughts that go through my brain on any given day that I definitely do NOT want to ever see the light of day. Thoughts that I have to take “captive to the obedience of Christ” {2 Corinthians 10:5b}.

And so, while I wish I could remember the words I wanted to say and the way in which I wanted to say them, I’m thankful for the grace of God to save me from myself and my thoughts!
