Although never diagnosed, I wonder at times if I’m a little ADD. As a kid I was easily distracted, even in the middle of a conversation. As long as I have only a few things to focus on, I do very well. It is in the plethora of activity that I can get lost. Realizing this about myself is helping me to pare away the stuff that clutters my mind and life, and simplify.
Pastoring is a career path that always presents itself with multitasking venues, and continually throws out more and more challenges. It is easy to get lost in the multiplicity of tasks, and is imperative to remove the distractions in otder to gain focus.
Any ADD or OCD friends out there?
