Distractions are a strange thing….
You see, they never bother you when you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing. That is to say those, distractions don’t come when you are not walking in the will of God, or at least trying too, anyway.

We did that to Ourselves…
You know that feeling you get when you knock a cup over?
That feeling of, “man this really sucks, but I kind of did it to myself,” as we watch the liquid spread across the table, then onto the floor, as we now rush around to mop it up. Usually spreading it around making a bigger mess before it starts to actually clean up into something resembling a presentable mess.
Nobody Told You…
It’s hard when you’re young…..
I don’t mean young as in you are a teenager or in your early twenties. Granted those are indeed hard times, filled with teenage angst, acne, college, and learning that life well…sometimes sucks.
I mean it’s hard when you are young in Christ. When you are just a babe, freshly saved…or even saved for a long time but not quite mature.
It’s hard –
Got to Stop Skipping Church Day
I thought about church today….
But then I remembered that one time that I went…there was that one person or group…
I was going to go to church today…
But…then I thought about how I heard the Pastor of that church wasn’t the holiest person and is not doing right, and you know, who is he to tell me how to live for God, if he can’t get right himself….
I was going to go to church today…
But I was tired –
I didn’t have the right clothes-
They’re just going to judge me anyway –
They’re all just hypocrites –
I was going to go but – I can just worship in my own home….
Do any of these sound familiar? Do you ever wonder why church? Like honestly, what is the purpose?
With 1 Peter 5:7 there’s Hakuna Matata
Disney had a point….
Ok, let me rephrase that. Disney had a catchy catchphrase. But that’s what they do right? They give you a catch phrase that sticks with you. Something that you can easily remember when you are sad, happy, or when times are going down the toilet and you need a happy campy pick me up.
Secret Agent Man/Woman
Ever looked around and it seems like everyone is moving fast but you’re standing still?
It’s like something straight out of a movie. Picture it – camera pans over and you walk onto the scene or into house or restaurant or wherever (pick a place) and the world slows down, the lights dim, and a voiceover starts: “I bet you’re wondering how I got here…to this place…at this time…with these people…well, yeah. Me too.” Or something like that
Don’t Look Back
Run…..
Run for your life. If you can’t run – speed-walk….either way, you need to get a move on…and do it quickly. In the military we would say “At a Double Time, March,” which meant to pick up the pace, or start running.
But speaking of running…are we tired yet?
Losing
Bleating Incessant bleating Your lips are moving but all I hear is- Bleating Now the noise sounds like screaming, Ever heard a kid screaming? A goat, or a baby Either one is quite draining Holding back a shout, Trying to worm its way out Tired- Empty, I have zonked In this match, I tap out…
Flower Girl
I bring you flowers on your special day, Plus on days in between…. And up and down the aisle, I’ll skip as music plays Throwing petals, Here and there Watching as they fall, Delivering unto you my friend The greatest bouquet of them all, Where is my bouquet- I wonder…. I’m just a flower girl……
