Remain focused on what's important

This lady went to her pastor, and she said... Pastor, I won't be attending church anymore. He said, may I ask why... She said I see people on their cell phones during service, some are gossiping, some just ain't living right, they are all just hypocrites... The pastor got silent, and he said, OK... But can I ask you to do something for me before you make your final decision... She said, what's that... He said, take a glass of water and walk around the church 2 times and Don’t let any water fall out the glass. She said, yes I can do that... She came back and said it's done... He asked her 3 questions. 1. Did you see anybody on their phone? 2. Did you see anybody gossiping? 3. Was anybody living wrong? She said I didn't see anything... I was too focused on this glass so the water wouldn't fall.... He told her, when you come to church, you should be just that focused on Jesus so that you won't fall!!! The moral of the story... When you are focused on others there is no way you can be focused on Jesus.... Distractions!!!
