Are You Plugged In?

Well I love Sunday!!  I love fellowship with my church family.  I love singing in the choir. I love good Bible based preaching.  And I love Sunday school.  Today we had a woman speak who is actually the daughter of one of our church members and a missionary to West Africa.  She taught our all ladies Sunday school about being plugged in.  She said that people who are unplugged are the people who are totally lost in sin.  She said that people who are partially plugged in are unable to handle people and situations the right way because they are relying on their own strength and not the Lord.  These people she said give off a shock every time someone comes around them and lashes out.  She said no one can be happy partially plugged in.  I started to analyze my own heart and I wondered how often am I running partially plugged in.  How often do I lash out at people or ignore their own hurt or pain because I am too wrapped up in my own little world.  Too often, I am ashamed and humbled to say.  Then she spoke on those that are fully plugged in.  Totally tuned into God and willing to let Him work His will in their lives.  This is the category I desire to be in.  Don't you?  So I guess I am asking tonight "Are you plugged in?"
