For example, I start my morning by reading my Bible, selecting a daily Bible verse to share on Facebook, reading a few of my favorite devotionals and spending some time on a Bible Study. ![]() On the other hand, a distraction can sometime bring me back into focus. Then when I was redoing the entire blog, I had one more idea of a place to look and I found the first draft, or at least most of it. Now my focus is irritation with myself for not paying more attention and the fact that I now have to recreate everything I had just written. I can be focused on writing this blog, then a simple wrong set of keystrokes and I am super distracted as my entire first draft just disappeared.

Then there is our friend the kangaroo, a truly extraordinary creature. Trampolines invoke wonderful memories for me. When you soar upwards then plummet down just to bounce back up again. When was the last time you felt that free, that unencumbered? Very few things in life give you that feeling of freedom that defying gravity does. That feeling of almost flying as you bounced as high as you possibly could was amazing. What do you suppose these three things have in common?
