This quote from Mike Elgan:

"A person who works six hours a day but with total focus has an enormous advantage over a 12-hour-per-day workaholic who's "multi-tasking" all day, answering every phone call, constantly checking Facebook and Twitter, and indulging every interruption. It's time we upgraded our work ethic for the age we're living in, not our grandparents' age. Hard work is still a virtue, but now takes a distant second place to the new determinant of success or failure in the age of Internet distractions: Control of attention. Hard work is dead. Are you paying attention?"Read the entire (short) article here.

Interesting, as our women's Bible study was just discussing this subject this evening. Our initial conversation was on obedience. To obey you must know the Word and to know the Word you must study the Word, but there are so many distractions in our lives that take us away from quiet time with our Lord. Tell a teacher how hard it is to keep a child's attention these day when they are so use to computer games, t.v., etc. It takes a concentrated effort to focus and concentrate as we are so use to multi-tasking. It also takes self-discipline which is a fruit of the spirit. We have choices as how to spend our time. The Bible is our guide book; our recipe book for living. We have to slow down and digest it! i enjoyed the article! Thanks Sheryl
