Once, she looked back at me and said, "Did you really hear that joke?" 

She knew I didn't hear that joke. Now, if she would say, "What were you
thinking about when they told that joke?" I would immediately begin to 
respond and tell her what I was thinking. 

I have so much work to do that I need to take advantage of every bit of
time to work on it. I don't necessarily have to be at my computer but 
as long as my brain is working, so am I. 

Whenever we have dinner with friends, I look forward to the next
morning. During that dinner, my head is swarming with ideas and 
thoughts about a project I'm working on. 

One of these days, I'm going to thank those people for giving me the
opportunity to think through a project I'm working on. 

On occasion, the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I are on a trip
across town. 

While driving the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage will look over at
me and say, “Ok, what are you thinking?” 

Because I'm thinking I don't hear her at first. Finally, she gets my
attention and I once replied, “Oh, I was just thinking of what a 
wonderful, lovely, gracious wife I have. I'm so fortunate.” 

She has a hard time responding to that. Great thought. 

A verse of scripture came to mind. Psalm 139:23-24, “Search me, O God,
and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be 
any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” 

God knows what I'm thinking all the time. I want to discipline myself to
have thoughts that honor and please God. To think about God is the 
great pleasure of being a Christian.
