Tell the squirrels to chill

Distractions are insidious and can pull you away from God's best.

Anyone else easily distracted? Oh I am. So badly. I have an army of squirrels that my brain enjoys chasing. Sometimes they can be useful, but more often than not they just get me off track.

I can make a list for the grocery store and forget the one thing I actually needed. I can forget where I'm going. I can forget the reason I walked into a room.

Our whole world is full of pleasant distractions. We have ample opportunity to get sidetracked, and to be fair it won't always be an awful experience. But when you finally come back to your senses, you'll realize that that the opportunity God gave you has passed… while you were chasing squirrels.
