Stay Focused...


My son, Koke, got a cool opportunity this weekend. He was one of the bat-boys at the Cornbelter's game. (Excuse me..."Dugout Assistant"...I know' don't get me started...)

Koke got to sit on the field next to the visitors dugout. He ran to get the bats after the players got a hit and chased down foul balls behind the plate.

He had a great time, but he realized an undeniable truth about baseball...a lot a time can pass between anything actually happening. Koke has the attention span of an 11 year old boy (read: over-caffeinated dachshund). So he kept getting distracted and missing when he was supposed to actually be doing something. Our seats were not to far from where he was so I just kept mouthing in that exaggerated over speaking that all parents do by instinct, "PAY ATTENTION!!!"

I don't know about you, but I need that in my life sometimes. It is so easy for me to get distracted from what I'm truly here for that I totally space out. I lose focus and miss my chance to be and do what God intends for me.

So let's all look in the mirror today and mouth the words to ourselves, "PAY ATTENTION!!!" Block out all the secondary distractions and ask your self these questions...What can I do right now to make my world a little more like the world God intended? How is God's Kingdom coming into my world right now and how can I join Him? What can I do right now to reflect God's glory into my world?

So stop staring at the JumboTron and get in the game.
