When I read the Bible,
I am often astounded
At my short attention span.
I can read whole novels
In a single sitting,
But two paragraphs of the Bible
And my mind wanders.
It was a relief then to read
That I am not alone in this.
If I am a running back, ready to win,
I might not reach the end zone
Because there is a defense opposing me.
Right.
And so I pray for focus,
And don’t get discouraged if
I need to talk to the coach
Before, and during, and after.
Actually, that’s better.
