When he is afraid or anxious he barks incessantly but we are making progress. Well, sort of. Life has innumerable distractions in it. Some distractions are good distractions . These distractions are the ones that take your mind off the burdens of life.
Some distractions are bad ones.
These distractions are the ones that separate you from the love and care of God. When you are distracted and realize it, just remember it is simply human to be distracted, and God understands as long as your heart and will are in the right place. It is God's will that when you are pulled away from Him that you not be content or apathetic about being pulled away.
