I've been sitting here tonight bored out of my mind. 

Being bored is a dangerous place for a Christian.  We are obligated to make every attempt to avoid sin, but the old saying, "idle hands are the devil's workshop," really rings quite true.  It's at those times when we lack the drive to find something to keep us occupied — the very definition of boredom — that our minds begin to drift.  And when we find ourselves in a state of despair or even depression, the effects are magnified a hundred times over.   We begin longing for some sort of stimulation or, if nothing else, a distraction.

I really don't have anywhere else to go with this post.  What you're seeing is my attempt to fill five minutes of a long, boring night.  But I figured I would use that time to raise a concern I've had for a while now about boredom.  Be careful at times of inactivity; how you choose to pass idle time should reflect your religious and moral beliefs.  Even if you're alone, there's still a witness — and He is the one we will all answer to on Judgement Day, anyway.  Or, as Paul said to the Corinthians:

"So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad."   2 Corinthians 5:9-10
