A friend stopped by to chat
for which I was thankful
but then
without thinking hard enough
I looked at my computer screen
trying to multitask.
He, feeling he was stealing my time
(a worthless commodity if not spent on people)
apologized for keeping me from my
work.
My work
what more is it than
people?
Forgive me Christ for
sacrificing
his comfort
his words
his time
to check my screen
worthless waste
to spend Your time
on something less than
a member of your body.
this whole thing of distraction has been hitting me hard lately. it amazes me how many worthless or less worthy things try to pry my attention away from people.
