oh ya, I know what you're talking about...back in the day when I used too many "substances" to supposedly "amuse" myself, it was really to stop myself from "thinking" too much...I hated that I could not turn my brain off...and the reality was, that most of those "substances" made things worse!! So why do they call some of these things "recreational" drugs??? I never could figure out what that means....See that's the problem, you think you are "turning off" for awhile, drugs, tv, movies, parties etc etc etc, but really you are filling your mind and "turning it on" to the very opposite of what can heal you....I remember way back when I started using the Ouija board for "amusement" (it's a game you can buy in any department store!!
) Well, let me tell you, that was not amusing at all...me and my friend became obsessed, asking it every trivial question under the sun....and it gave answers, run-around answers....consuming our time with complete nonsense and stupidity....that was WAY before I learned of Jesus....but let me tell you, there is a power behind some of these things that people shouldn't mess with...Satan just loves to play games of "amusement"....what a collosal waste of time, other than NOW I can appreciate what a wonderful fulfilling thing it is to spend time in the Word of God....
