Distracting

As I have been more aware of the massive amounts of media in my life, I have come to recognize how Satan uses it as a distraction. Actually I always knew it was a distraction, but I too know that media is a huge blessing. So what I am trying to say is that I have recognized the areas in which I can balance this out more. Life is about balance.

Sometimes I notice in church or church related meetings, people pull out their phones to take notes or use their device for hymns etc.  Great! I also see those who have their phone out and are playing games, Snapchat, etc. While all of these things are fun and great, they can be distracting when used in the wrong way.  Even when used in the right way we can be distracted/side tracked into something not as worth our while.

This mormon ad came to mind.

I love these mormon ads. They say just enough for us to think about what we need to change and how we can change.

This sums of media, and in fact if you can read the bottom it references media, its good expect...

I have taken this challenge to step up my game in not allowing myself to fall my life distractions. I have felt such a stronger will power to recognize the good in my day, and to strengthen others. I am happier for it. Let us be distracted for good. Distract yourself in doing good. Get rid of the "bugs" in your life, and if you happen to eat a bug, laugh about it! Extra protein, right? Eek! ha
