The Cost of Distraction

Fellow Labourers-

These are days for serious contemplation and reflection. What is really important? Are we so absorbed with the blessings that we forget the blesser? What has impacted your life the most recently? In my own reflections I am becoming even more aware of the fact that distraction can be costly. There is a song we sing which goes like this, "Dare to be a Daniel, Dare to stand alone. Dare to have a purpose firm and dare to make it known."

Let us not let down our guards but be even more vigilant. Those of you who are following the situation in France and are acutely up to speed on your history will remember than the French have been a rebellious people. The Revolution itself is difficult to be dated because of the different phases into which it evolved. Are we still experiencing residue of the old revolution? You see, revolutions tend to feed on themselves, and once we begin to give way to the rebellious we create an insatiable appetite for more rebellion.

Let us not get distracted by the many voices around us. The cost of distraction can be too deadly for us not to be focus on eternity.

Pax Vobiscum
