Back on Track (Ex 1/51)

Well here I am again.
A week off. And trying to get back into the swing.
Very limited computer access can do interesting things to a person.
It seemed like I went cold turkey for the first day or two.
I craved information.
A bulk of my time on the computer is spent poring over football(the real type) stats and updates.
My blood pumps the red of Liverpool and I would devour info from 5 or 6 different sites.
The fly fishing forum I read and contribute to is my home page and I "NEED" to know what is happening and how.
I've become a fan of NEWS updates and have become a bit obsessive about what's been happening around the country and the world.
I love technology and try to keep the info banks in the deep dark recesses of my mind relatively up to date.
And then there's bible studies and research, work related sites, video technique exploration and don't get me started about facebook since I joined this addictive compulsive tool of time sucker uppers.
Yet despite the lack of access and even less access to TV, the world continued to turn.
The sun rose AND set.
Birds sang and beetles chirped.
By day 3, the DT's had subsided and my breathing was controlled.
I survived.
I came home and my urges to race to the computer and get my fix was non-existent.
Virtually.
The urge was there, but I could suppress it.

I had learned something big.
The information will always be there.
Get some priorities, nonghead. (me not you, just in case. I dislike offending)

So where does this leave my blog?
Well you're having a read, so obviously I'll continue.
My goals still remain the same.
Hopefully my OCD twitches and brain implosions will subside enough for me to enjoy what I am outputting.
If I'm enjoying it, then my hope is you will too.

Exodus 1
There's a new Pharaoh in town.
And he ain't happy with what he sees.
Fear creates odd jumps in logic.
"Oh there are too many Hebrews. If we get attacked they will join our enemies.
We must grind them down."
Assumption one, they would be attacked.
Egypt was envied because of their wealth , but they were pretty tough as well.
Possible, but maybe not that probable.
Assumption two, the Hebrews would join the attackers.
Would they attack the nation that one generation ago saved them from starvation?
Attack the nation that had given them land and a place to call their own?
Again possible, but an argument exists it would be unlikely.

The outcome of these unlikely assumptions - genocide.
Panic breeds irrational decisions.

It is comforting to know that when the unknown knocks at my door, I can rely on one who CAN see what lays before me. He holds my hand and leads me on.
I have no need to panic and make dumb decisions.
It still happens.
But only when I forget to reach out and take the hand that is always there.
Thankfully it is happening less and less and........

I've tried changing my titling around a bit.
Not totally convinced it works, but I'll play around and see what happens.
I must say,
it is really good to be back.
Really good.
