“DEALING WITH DISTRACTIONS” By Rev. Dan Minor
-
revdminor1945@gmail.com _____________________________________
“… but one thing I do …” Philippians 3:13.
Distractions are a part of life. We are easily distracted. We are distracted by such things as social media, other people, noise, driving and texting at the same time, daydreaming, interruptions and by wandering thoughts while praying. In James l: 8, we read “A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.”
Among other things, Jesus was a person of single-minded devotion. Nothing distracted Him from His purpose. His eyes were focused on completing the work His Heavenly Father sent Him here to do. He refused to be distracted by His detractors, including the religious leaders of His day. He stared down the Devil in the wilderness of temptation and emerged unscathed. Nothing could prevent Him from willfully giving His life on a cross to pay the penalty for our sins. His glorious resurrection from the dead was the ultimate act of fulfilling God’s plan for the redemption of the world.
In the above verse, Apostle Paul shows his resolve to stay focused on the work Christ gave him to do. Question: How can we keep from being distracted from God’s best for us? What is the meaning of “… this one thing I do…”?
Let’s take a closer look at some things we can do to fulfill God’s purpose for our lives? 1. DON’T SETTLE.
In verse 12 we read, “Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal…” As we strive for the goal of being all God wants us to be, we must never settle for mediocrity. The motto for the recent Tokyo Olympics 2021 was: “Faster, Higher, and Stronger.” In order to promote the idea of solidarity, the International Olympic Committee added the word “Together.” As members of the Body of Christ on earth (The Church) we are always striving to be the best we can be for God. 2. KEEP STRIVING.
Verse 12 continues, “...but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.” This brings to mind the words of an older saint. Whenever one would ask him how he was doing, his response was always the same, “I am still pressing on.” Can this be said of us? 3. STAY CENTERED.
Verses 13 and 14 read, “But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Olympic athletes prepare hard and compete for the highest awards an athlete can receive. Yet they eventually fade away. One day we will lay our trophies at His feet and crown Him Lord of all. The key to staying focused is to keep our eyes on Jesus. (Hebrews 12:2)
Prayer: Dear Lord, help us to keep our eyes on You. In Your strong name. Amen.

Jim passed away Thursday, March 26, 2020 at the home of his sister and brother-inlaw, Lois and Paul Mayuiers in Sturgis, MI. He had resided with them since his return to Michigan from Florida several years prior. Jim was born May 22, 1939 in Kalamazoo, MI to Abraham Boone and Wilma (Grofvert) Boone. He served in the U.S. Army as an M.P. He was an expert rifleman and a pistol marksman. These skills followed him throughout his life and showed in his love and accuracy as a hunter. Everything Jim did, he did with passion, whether it was hunting, fishing, racing cars at a local speedway back in the 1960s, going to a Nascar race in person or watching it on TV, or showing up at a Kalamazoo County meeting to oppose a landfill in Cooper Township in 1991. During his working career he was a heavy equipment operator through Local 324 and an active memer of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, the VFW and the American Legion. One of Jim’s biggest accomplishments was starting a program in Brandon, FL with his wife Jackie for underprivileged children at Christmas. They raised money with much help from the Fraternal Order of Eagles in Valrico, FL. They got donations from local merchants, shopped, wrapped, planned and executed a fun-filled Christmas party for these children complete with Santa. Jim and Jackie did this for many years. Jackie preceded Jim in death on October 28, 2010. The Christmas tradition has continued through the Valrico Eagles and is known as “Jim’s Kids.” A memorial service will be held on Monday, October 4, 2021 at 12 noon at the Fort Custer National Cemetery in Augusta, MI

Jeff was a devoted member of New Life Victory Church in Comstock where he served as an elder and loved worshipping with his church family. Jeff’s passion in life was to help others.

ADOPTABLE Pet of the Week! Meet handsome, tender-hearted
BUDDY!
Buddy is obviously a cool-looking dog, and he is also super sweet. When meeting new people, Buddy needs a moment or two to get comfortable. Once he gets to know you, he can be loving and playful. Buddy will need a special forever home or foster family to help him build his confidence and become the best doggy he can be. The hustle and bustle at the animal shelter is hard on Buddy - he really needs to get out of this environment as soon as possible. Please help Buddy connect with his forever home by telling your family, friends and neighbors about him. You never know who may be looking for a special dog to add to their pack! Buddy is 11 months old and weighs 45 pounds. He would benefit from a confident, easy-going dog in the home that could show Buddy how much fun being a dog is supposed to be. Buddy should have a cat-free home. It is recommended that any children in his forever home are respectful of pets and 12 years old or older. A meet and greet with any dog(s) already in the home will be set up to make sure the dogs are a good match. Plus, Buddy will need to be signed up for training as part of the adoption process. If you would like to meet Buddy, please fill out a no-obligation online adoption or foster application at: wishbonepetrescue.org
