...rejoicing in Christ my awesome Redeemer, with teeth gritted against the current pain... until the time comes when it will be all rejoicing all the time with no more pain (1 Peter 1, Revelation 20-22)...

"Expulsive replacement - rejoicing in Jesus in the face of your particular idols"...

Yeah!  All... day... long...

A few weeks / months ago, I had a mild (or maybe not so mild) case of news-addiction (certain internet blogs and news sites).   Recently I've felt too busy to read those sites very often, besides realizing that the news from around the world is pretty much "bad" all the time, though there is absolutely zero reason for me to be worried because Jesus Christ has already conquered and it's only a matter of time before He returns and crushes all badness.

So I've learned that I can live without reading the news.   It's been interesting. 

Have any of you ever had news-addictions, email addictions, internet-addictions, etc?   cell phone addictions?
