## Resource

Today’s topic is about the utility of boredom. Have you ever heard a child utter the phrase,“I’m bored…” or maybe you have said it yourself. Is boredom a result of our modern-daydistractions or has this been an ongoing problem for many years? We’ll talk about how we can take everythought captive and use the times of ‘boredom’ to honor God.
