I just finished my quiet time. Ate amala for dinner, you breakfast sounds yummy except.... I've never seen/had an omelette before. how do you make it?
I'm having a great morning thank you sweet one! I've had an omelette with spinach, onion, cherry tomatoes and garlic - on toast - with a cuppa. Have been enjoying some quiet time with the Lord. I just love Him so! How about you dear one?
Hopefully, I will be retiring in a year or two so I'm not overly concerned about where I work at the moment. I do try to serve God well in my job by setting a good example and being kind to the people that I work with. I am still happily married although I still have work to do in this area. I talk to God all day long and He is a good friend to me even though I'm not always the best friend for Him. Maybe I am reaching a point now in my life and wondering where do I go from here? Also, I do have occasional depression but thankfully it is not debilitating. I enjoy this thread very much and it warms my heart to see the joy in all of the peeps. I guess that there is a lot of time that there is no joy in my heart for one reason or another.
Amen and praise the Lord for these words of wisdom Mr Peabody. Bringing them forward because important posts so easily get lost way back there...
Ok, probably long post warning! LOL 
...God had me thinking about this last night even -
Interesting how this issue of boredom keeps popping up lately. We have in another thread a case of boredom which has been directly attached to this thread as well by way of someone acting in due diligence to boredom. And many if not most of you know about it. So lets look at boredom for a second.
We sow something every day with our words and our actions. Like a farmer, we sow into our future harvests with the words we speak and the actions we take. We speak words that reflect what’s in our hearts and take action as a direct result of what we’ve sown into our minds, emotions and hearts. Proverbs 13:4 says, "The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich." If you will search the book of Proverbs, you will find that a “sluggard” goes through life reacting to life, but the "diligent" seek God’s Word-Will & Way every day and they create a plan of action related to what they learned. That’s why they don’t wait for something to happen. The diligent learn to make something happen by sowing into their dreams, while daily seeking God to know what action (s) to take and what seeds to sow.
In 1 Thessalonians 5:23, the scripture distinguishes three levels of our beings - Body, Soul & Spirit. When Adam & Eve were first created, they had all three parts too, but were without sin. They operated in the Divine Order. They communicated with God by their spirits; uniquely expressed themselves with their souls and their bodies were subject to their spirits. So, the Divine Order was Spirit, Soul & Body. The Body was subject to their Soul and their Soul was subject to their Spirit. Today, however, most people tend to live upside down. Their bodies influence their souls their souls determine their spiritual condition. The Bible calls this 'setting your mind on the flesh, which leads to corruption'. Galatians 6:8 says, "For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting."
The Spirit: Conscience, Intuition and Communion; spiritual aptitudes & abilities are unlimited.
The Function of Conscience can be understood by learning the following scriptures:
"Saves the crushed in spirit" (Ps. 34:18).
"Put a new and right spirit within me" (Ps. 51:10).
"His spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols" (Acts 17:16).
"It is the Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God" (Rom. 8:16).
The Function of Intuition can be understood by studying the following:
"The spirit indeed is willing" (Matt. 26:41).
"Jesus perceiving in his spirit" (Mark 2:8).
"Being fervent in spirit" (Acts 18:25).
The Function of Communion can be understood by studying the following:
"My spirit rejoices in God my Savior" (Luke 1:47).
"The true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth" (John 4:23).
"Whom I serve with my spirit" (Rom. 1:9).
"I will sing with the spirit" (1 Cor. 14:15).
The Soul: Mind, Will & Emotions; psychological aptitudes and abilities are thinking, reasoning, remembering, feeling various emotions, exercising the will and making choices.
The Body: Seeing, feeling, hearing, smelling and tasting; physical aptitudes and abilities are based on the limitations of the five senses of human beings.
Psalm 139: 23-24 says, "Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."
Hebrews 4:12 says the Word is capable of showing us the difference between the spirit and the soul. It is like a sharp sword that is able to penetrate and divide the two. The Amplified Bible puts it this way, "For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart" (Hebrews 4:12) (Amp ).
Boredom in the realm the spiritual world is either God's or it is not. Is it God's? And if it is not God's whose spirit is it then? We should stop to establish this in our lives for His name sake. Sorry Joefizz - I long posted again...LOL
