Followers (Of Christ),
There are almost two kinds of people (Westcliffs Notes<clickable). Those who read long blogs, and those who don't and who also don't tolerate sitting in church (or have access to one) either. You as a reader are "gone" in just 8 seconds at a time attention span, into pieces of 8 seconds. Even though a person socially will play games with themselves/others and sit patiently in a church building for an hour or two and lie about not taking mental naps during church service, we all do at times. Yet, the thought of reading a blog for only "five whole minutes!" for some is overwhelming, upsetting, hard to mentally track and keep ones mental focus to it.
A fair balance and offset to sitting in church two hours, versus five minutes reading is quite reasonable. Two hours, versus about five minutes. Yet we would be missing the point, if despite the Bible being hundreds/thousands of pages....if we denied it is too much reading (instead of listening in church for two hours) because many have disabilities. Mentally at least, we do not deny it is harder work to read a blog, than nap for two hours with eyes open in a church building.
You "heard" us right, our disabilities become noticeable through technology...that affect ability to focus, read, keep attention for more than really....1 1/2 minutes for reading (Ok, we "lied"-not, attention span might actually only be 8 seconds according to this article clicking here, and that is way down from the good old days of 12 seconds). Even just a church buildings fluorescent lights can leave some feeling irritable or impatient or activate "organized religion neurosis" sitting in church building that still operate with those kinds of lights. If it is torture to sit in church two hours and all the drive time and cost, it is also torture to read something that takes more than 1 1/2 minutes to some of you. Also, in the U.S.A., the average reading level for prose comprehension is 8th grade. Much of the readers of this blog in other countries leave U.S.A. type of folks behind with higher reading levels in their own languages.
Do not feel like you are alone when reading things and mentally "mowing" right over most of it in the blogs. It can even be normal to feel irritation and resent at anything in writing....especially if it rubs your attention span wrong or catches you in wrong mood such as worms or creepy crawlers in the head. Even a web page, the stats are a person only actually reads and absorbs only 28% of the words in it.
Words written by others can get in the way to what is also sometimes best shared through music in that same 5 minutes or less in same messege, such as this weeks music about "Trust". Eventually this will all tie in together for reading and music both that comes to you in blogs and websites.
We think people today have a far shorter attention span than in days of Jesus Christ. Can you imagine sitting through "Sermon on the Mount" with 8 second attention span? "Sorry Jesus, could you just get to the point!? Wait! Oh just wait...instead of all 10 commandments at once, just give us one per week, ok?". For many, the ministry is not "in addition to" church, but for many to most, it might be the only access to a little scripture sharing that they get they then can follow or enjoy that may at times serve the same needs as church (eventually, this ministry will serve all functions a church building does except provide a seat or heat). Some of the troops in other countries (regardless which side of the impending wars or nations they serve, God is on all our sides) enjoy a couple moments reading this stuff knowing it is based on Gods words.
Or...pardon the humor, but in the "cliffs" of Westcliffe and Silvercliffe Colorado, our brains get less oxygen at these altitudes of 7,875 feet and we need blogs kept simple and short. Also for the fact some are reading on their smartphones, instead of sitting behind a computer. So to keep it even short and sweeter to those who prefer....we created "Westcliffes Notes (click here)". Westcliffe's Notes are short version that parallels the same basic message theme of the main blog, but just real short. Sure, you will not get all the same facts, information's and Bible versus even, but its easier to read. Words are not too complex or big fancy words as there is nothing more than fifty cents spent on any one word. Short, simple and has main points. Going forward, when you see the blog, and can't tolerate a full reading or have kids just starting off who can read, just click Westcliffes Notes or the first sentence clickable link of the blog, and it will take you to the short cut blog to read instead. It will always be the fist link to click in the main blogs first sentence. You will just have to trust us....it's there.
Trust In Your Trust Of Him
Trust us, this blog doesn't read on forever. Stay with us, it has an end.
Like you could not at first see the Westcliffes Note blog, you trusted that it really is there. You trusted in your trust that which could not been seen, really is there and clicked it. It really was there. It is even less complicated than that with God, trusting the very real powers of the Holy Spirit are totally real and really there behind the face or name of Jesus we trust. Faith, trust is the access key to it. Trust is the key to God proving all the promises and powers and love for you. Really?
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.-Proverbs 3:5
The above is a real short, simple verse, it gives clarity that says to be intuitive, trust your sense of trust to trust God even when you do not "feel" spiritual, feel powers, or "feel" like trusting and believing, ...to just go ahead and trust your trust in him for you. Got no trust? Ask God for it. Even, or especially where our understanding is not enough or speaks to us in a different voice than blind trust.
Some say there is about 40-49 Bible verses about trust. Really? If you trust that, would you believe us if we said there is actually about 71 or more versus about trust in the Lord? Trust the Lord about trust in the Lord. Really?
Yes. Really. So if you missed trust in the first verse, the Bible is still going to revolve the issue back around to you at least 70 more times. Trust until you trust.
Do You Have to Trust?
No. Yet, you will miss out on so much more if you don't. Things like salvation, higher insights, more intense powers evoked from the Creator on high, even letting trust run on auto-pilot at times as to how much you trust. Yet, trust us when we say this blog must end (only for the moment, see you again next week) as it's too long so we could introduce the "shorter blog companion". It went beyond 8 seconds just to tell you about a newer shorter "blog within a blog". Then again, don't trust us about that, trust God, and that's our only point today...is trust God.
The world we live, western civilization, digital age and electronics, chemicals like flouride, radio frequencies bombarding us and just "need for speed" to be fast and efficient all has reduced us to only 8 seconds worth of "attention payment" ability at a time. For this reason too, we must develop our ability in the modern world about to have global internet....to casting all our anxieties and thought distractions, onto Christ who is knowing our 8 second limitations, because he cares, precisely as he says in 1 Peter 5:6-7 in this link.
8 second attention span in an internet age, can you trust God for more than 8 seconds?
For the next 8 seconds, press your thoughts into seeing, feeling, sensing and believing God through Jesus. It is only the next 8 seconds away to the Kingdom that last an eternity....
Blessings,
MMM

| Keys to the kingdom of God and his promises or the powers, or even keys to the T-bird for that matter, is all about trust. |

| Pieces of 8 seconds leaves us little time to remember how to "trust" God. Words as fractonalized forms of power, create stumbling blocks to trust and tell us how to think. This unique word arrangement by Lbeaumont gives us an idea all the competing word tricks. |
