So I completely forgot about this blog until I was reminded of it just today while looking through someone's Facebook status. It’s fascinating isn't it, how people can completely forget about what they intend to do on a day to day basis?
I was reading through a booklet the other day that had to do with ADD. It was an informative booklet that talked about ADD as a whole and discussed its ramifications and issues from a biblical perspective. As I was reading through some of the signs/markers of ADD I found myself wondering why I wasn't put on drugs as a child, teen, or twenty-something as I realized that I fit nearly every description. I don’t think that I should have been put on drugs as I don’t think that drugs are the answer, nor do I think that my parents would have taken that route. I was just alarmed that I had never been talked to about ADD and seem to function just fine. (Most of the time)
The booklet had some good points and I found myself realizing the problems we are getting into as a culture here in America. We can’t assume that we can continue to do things the way we are doing them and head down the road we are heading down and not have issues that start out small and grow into huge problems.
I guess it’s just another reason that believers need to be out getting involved in the lives of others to preach the Gospel that the grace of God might be evidenced and experienced.

Love this post. I would love to read that booklet. You can't really be "tested" for ADD but I took a therapy class and she mentioned that I might have it. Which helped put a word to my confusion.....I finally knew why I couldn't focus. But I would love to read it from a Biblical standpoint. (My teacher from the therapy class was a believer.)
