Distracted by Distractions

“Distracted from distraction by distraction.” If I’m not careful this quote from T.S. Eliot sums up my day. Some refer to this as the Age of Distraction. It’s certainly the age of commercialism where billions of dollars are spent annually to get and capture our attention. Our technological friends, TVs, radios, cellphones, bring these alluring distractions right into our homes. And, not just in our homes, our phones accompany us everywhere. Junk mail, newspapers and magazines compete for our attention as well. Distractions! Distractions! Let’s not let distractions keep us from focusing on what’s most important, our relationship with our God!

One thought on “Distracted by Distractions

  1. Amen! I will be struggling in a game (a distraction) to accomplish a goal only to realize that what I’m trying to do is a distraction from the main goal. Satan is good at that as well, but thank God, the Holy Spirit is there to keep us on track. Thanks Sheila!
