Focus is crucial in our relationship with the Almighty, especially in this age of distraction. This focus is not only meant for our daily prayers, but should stretch to every aspect of our lives. Living a distracted life leads nowhere as we’ll fall prey to the tricks of Satan.

Focus on God!
In His timing, everything will happen as it should and it will ALL be worth the wait.

Thank you God for showing me the meaninglessness in the things that I enjoy
Thank you God for showing me the wickedness in the people I adore
Thank you God for taking the love for this life out of my heart
None of these secular distractions can hurt me anymore
When I'm on my deathbed ready to leave this empty life
I'll say a final prayer as I join my hands and close my eyes:
"Thank you God for taking everything from me.
This life never mattered. Only You do. I am so happy."

Behold His beauty
The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, my enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell.Though an army may encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; Though war may rise against me, inthis I will be confident.One thing I have desired of the LORD, that will I seek: That…

All I Want For Christmas Is A Moneytree!
Faith thrives when we stay focused on God.
Do you ever feel that way, especially at Christmas? Whatever the situation, there’s only one solution. “Faith thrives when we stay focused on God rather than on ourselves. Some people blame their lack of faith on their different circumstances. Yet rough situations are often the catalyst for displays of great faith.” from “You’ll Never Walk Alone”

i never understood ppl claiming percy has never suffered the consequences of his loyalty. you're talking about percy "i know the prophecy said my friend would betray me but these are my friends they wouldn't betray me" jackson, who walked into a remote part of the forest with luke and almost died in book one. you're talking about percy "kronos told me point-blank there was a traitor but i can't imagine any of these ppl betraying me" jackson, who decided to stop looking for the traitor and moved on. you're talking about percy "nico is acting suspicious and very clearly hiding something from me but he's my friend and i trust him" jackson, who walked into nico's very obvious set up and almost got himself held hostage during the titan war. percy is so loyal that he cannot fathom betrayal until it's happening, and it has nearly killed him multiple times.

Our world is becoming increasingly filled with distraction. Information moves faster, louder, and brighter than ever before. Entertainment, social media, and marketing have never been so prevalent. They beg for our attention and our focus. In so doing, our minds are diverted from more important work.
However, these distractions are easy to notice. After all, the battle plays out in front of us each day.
Far more detrimental to our lives are the subtle distractions that quietly surround us. They are not announced with blinking lights or beeping sounds. In fact, they have become so commonplace and ever-present, we hardly even notice their existence. But these distractions take residence in our mind and wreak havoc on our pursuits. And in the end, it keeps us from living our lives to its greatest potential.

Who is Your Subject of Focus?
Tonight I’m going to let you in on a little secret. This secret has the capacity to revolutionize your life. It is not something that is readily apparent or else everyone would know it already. It seems to fit nicely into one of life’s ironies in that it seems counterintuitive in every way. Understanding this mystery can mean the difference between happiness and misery. Interestingly, it is the…
