It seems that it is human nature to overdo it, no matter what it is. I've had those obsessions before. As a teenager and young adult it was baseball. Later it was birding. Fortunately the Lord has given me enough real world responsibilities, that it's harder to get caught up in these kinds of things. I think we need to be examining our priorities on a daily basis. Things that are good in themselves can become stumblingblocks to our spiritual welfare if we become obsessed with them. It is difficult for humans to achieve balance, but that is what we need.
However, the biggest thrill on this earth is to be used by Jesus for the salvation of souls.Ken
