If I’m bored it’s my fault. I need to live a proactive life in serving God in a way that pleases Him.

That positive thing is that we don't gather together in committee,
instead, we do it virtually. That was something I never thought about 
until recently. 

A meeting virtually means that you're not in person, instead, you're on
the computer with the group. So, some of the committee meetings have 
been virtual. 

At first, I was a little excited about this. After all, I don't have to
travel a hundred miles to attend the committee meeting. Instead, I can 
go to my computer and join the committee online. 

I was pretty anxious to get this experience, so I set up my computer on
my easy chair at home and got a nice hot cup of coffee. Then, when the 
time came for the meeting to begin, I did several clicks on my 
computer, and voilà, I was at the committee meeting. 

At first something was interesting about it, but then, that boring
element began to develop right there in front of me. 

Watching it for 30 minutes, my head began to nod but not in agreement
with anything they were proposing. Then, finally, my head began to nod, 
my eyes began to fade, and soon, I was sleeping. 

Just then, the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage came in and saw that I
was sleeping, but she also heard I was asleep because of the snoring I 
do when I sleep. 

She tapped my shoulder and said, "You're not bored, are you?" 

I opened my eyes, looked around a little bit, cleared my throat and
looking at her said, "Of course not. I was having a time of prayer for 
the committee meeting." 

I'm not sure when I heard her laugh so much as I did at that moment. 

Later that day I remembered a verse of Scripture. "Slothfulness casteth
into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger" (Proverbs 
19:15). 

If I'm bored it's my fault. I need to live a proactive life in serving
God in a way that pleases Him.
