So last night I talked about purity in our thought lives. One illustration I brought was something my grandpa John Bell used to say. Imagine birds are like thoughts for a second. He would say "A bird can fly over your head, but you don't have to let it build a nest." A lot of times we can't control what pops into our heads or what we may see flipping the channels or browsing the web, but what we can control is whether or not we dwell on those things. If we allow those thoughts to fester in our mind they'll build a nest and it will gradually start to effect your life. Thats why it's so important that our thought lives remain pure. In case you weren't there, here's the image I used to drive the point home. Yes that's me. And those have to be the smallest seagulls I've ever seen. Thanks Micah. Nesty Hair (click for full size)
