This year, all this isolation, what do people even really do? I've just gotten bored with everything. Before it's even said, I've already read through the bible this year cover to cover and am about 1/3 of the way through a second reading cover to cover, and .. I'm pretty bored of that too, it's still fresh enough in my mind that I'm not really getting anything new from most scripture, so it can be a struggle to read more than a handful of chapters a day and most days I don't feel like I've gained anything new out of it. Prayer.. I pray in the morning, I give thanks at each meal, I pray before I go to bed, I pray before I read the bible, and I pray when I actually have something that I want to say in specific like I encounter someone who needs something and I pray for them.. but sometimes I don't even know what to say, it's like trying to call someone multiple times a day you don't really have lengthy conversations, because nothing has really happened from the last time you talked to them.
But on top of that.. stuck at home, not a lot of resources to do much, I try playing video games, even ones I haven't really played much before.. bored. Try watching a TV show or movie on netflix.. and it's kind of a chore to even finish an episode, and a single 90-120 minute movie might take multiple sittings because I get bored partway through. Haven't done a lot of reading recently cause I figure if I'm reading something it should be the bible right, although I recently read Rnady Alcorn's "Heaven"
I've consumed probably thousands of hours of preaching, sermons, and other bible related content on youtube over the past year
and I'm just really bored of everything.
What are people doing when they're lockdowns and all that?
