Not sure what is going on, Eric. Everything seems to be in order. I’ll look into it. Shaun
All better.
Another thought provoking podcast. I look forward to it every month.
This podcast made me think of this passage:
Proverbs 12:11 Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread,but he who follows worthless pursuits lacks sense.
I think this verse describes much of what’s online — worthless pursuits, idle (idol?) time.
I try to think of this every time I sit at the computer. I don’t apply it as much as I should, but with God’s grace I’ll improve. It’s the difference between work time, leisure time and idle time. The first two are good things. The last one is, more often than not, a waste.
Work is earning money for your family.
Leisure is playing with your kids.
Idleness is looking up the latest “must see” clip on youtube.
FYI the audio currently on iTunes is a repeat of the previous month’s episode.
Neil,
Thanks for catching that. It has been fixed and the should update at iTunes within 24 hours.
