Tonight I had the opportunity to go the Arizona Diamondback’s game at Chase Field. The first thing you notice at the ballpark is that there are many distractions. Advertisements everywhere, lit signs that show scores, players photos and stats, announcements, salesmen yelling “cotton candy-lemonade!”, and the list goes on and on and on. It’s almost hard to remember that there’s a baseball game happening down on the field.
And then. . .you look up and just a few rows across from you, a foul ball comes screaming up ready to take revenge on the distracted mind that has been in charge. That foul ball will wake you up!
It’s a great life reminder to get our heads back in the game. There may be many distractions we face but we need to keep our eyes on the prize. Just remember the following two verses:

It’s a great life reminder to get our heads back in the game. There may be many distractions we face but we need to keep our eyes on the prize. Just remember the following two verses:
I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:14 (NKJV)
Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
2 Timothy 4:2 (NIV)
