Where OH Where?

It's funny how easily I can get distracted from studying God's word.

I usually study during lunch. I like to sit in my car at a local park and study. I'll have 4 different versions of the bible and really get in depth. I even bought this pen from the Christian book store. This pen is one of those multi function gadgets. It has a red, blue, and black pen, red highlighter, stylus, and pencil. I use it to color code my bible such as red for God's warnings, blue for his promises, etc.

An author that I like, Terry Brooks, just came out with a new book. I have been waiting for it to hit the shelves and promptly picked it up. I told myself I should only read it at night, saving lunch for studying. Well, at about the same time, I lost my pen. Man, I have to find it. . So now I am reading his book at lunch and haven't cracked the bible except for church.

I am temporarily distracted. Sometimes my dogmatic side comes out. I have ignored the study time because I can't find the pen to highlight wisdom I might come across. You get the joke? In order not to miss highlighting the good passages, I quit reading the passage until said pen is found. Is that not ironic.

Well, I bought another pen in the interim. However, I am over halfway through the book so have decided to finish it and get it out of the way.

Oh where, oh where has my little pen gone?
