Distractions

Tornadoes in Atlanta.

NCAA Brackets.

Vitriolic words from a pulpit in Chicago.

Super Delegates.

A falling crane in NYC.

It would be easy to be distracted during these days. Today is Palm Sunday. It is the beginning of Holy Week.

Distractions are all around us. They keep us occupied with the mundane when we are called to celebrate the holy.

Here are some great words from the writer of Proverbs.

Keep vigilant watch over your heart; that's where life starts. Don't talk out of both sides of your mouth; avoid careless banter, white lies, and gossip. Keep your eyes straight ahead; ignore all sideshow distractions. Watch your step, and the road will stretch out smooth before you. Look neither right nor left; leave evil in the dust. 4:23 The Message

I am going to let these words guide my Holy Week journey.

What's guiding your journey these days? Are you distracted?

Just a thought....
