Bored?

For a while, I’ve been interested in what causes fear and why sometimes I don’t go after opportunities because of fear.  I’ve been reading “IN A PIT WITH A LION ON A SNOWY DAY” and just read something that made me perk up.  This book is about facing fears when opportunity knocks.  It says, “…the alternative to fear is boredom….”  And God didn’t make us to be bored.  If we’re bored, we’re refusing to be who he made us to be.  I had never looked at boredom that way before and will certainly keep that in mind if I start feeling bored in my role as a husband or father, a professional, or follower of Christ.
