Oh The Ipad


So, I started off saying there was no way I was going to want one, I have enough tech toys, this is one more "thing" I don't need, and on my list went.

But it happened, I was recently bit by the apple, marketing, machine, so, I went into the apple store at Partridge Creek yesterday and played with one; I knew I shouldn't have touched it.

Now, I WANT one!! I Hate you Steve Jobs.

"I wonder what I can sell around the house to get one", has been my thinking since last night.

Then today, it hit me that I have been thinking about that almost more than anything else. Actually know when it hit me...?

While Tom & I were meeting this morning for several hours to discuss how we will be team teaching this Sunday on the subject of .............what we worship.

So, easy isn't it? Easy to have the focus of our attention and affection and even worship, be drawn to something less that the only thing worthy of our worship; The Lord Jesus Christ.

My email box is full, my voice mail box overrun, my schedule packed today, and my weekend already too busy but, somehow in all of it, my attention has been captivated by a small glowing box of wifi ability and skateboard apps.

Sometimes I feel hopeless. I'm praying today that Jesus would keep capturing my attention more than anything and everything else that so much lesser, and in comparison, just plain crap.

Wonder what's capturing your attention & affections right now. What is distracting you from the only one worth being distracted with.
