BOB Good morning. This is Bob Peden of Central, A United Methodist Community here in Meridian. Are you in a rut? We live so much of our lives on autopilot! We often visit with the same people, drive the same way to work, watch the same TV shows; even get up at the same time each day. Most of this is not bad. Putting unimportant things on autopilot allows us to devote our energy and attention to new and important things. But we must turn off the autopilot in our relationships. When we stay on autopilot in our relationships, we catch ourselves not listening as we should, or expecting others to understand us being "just a little late" again or reading the paper (or watching TV) pretending to pay attention to them. Make a commitment to spend quality time with your family and friends. Really listen to them. Do something extra nice for those around you. Get out of your rut. After all, "A rut is simply a grave without ends on it."
