I have been pondering a delicate question this week. Why is it I can only do one thing at a time? If only I could do several things at a time, I could get more accomplished.

I enjoy so much. I was so happy and excited about it. 

When I got home, I hurried inside so I could show this brand-new
addition to my pen collection to my wife and have her join me in 
admiring it. 

She glanced at it somewhat nonchalantly and then stared at me with one
of those stares. It was one of those stares that indicated I was in 
trouble. I could not for the life of me figure out why I was in 
trouble. 

With both hands on her hips and staring at me she said, “Where are the
groceries I asked you to pick up?” 

“Groceries?” I had forgotten all about the groceries. In fact, I had
forgotten about why I went to Staples in the first place. 

As I headed for my truck a Scripture came to me, “Whatsoever thy hand
findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, 
nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest” 
(Ecclesiastes 9:10). 

It is hard for someone like me to focus on two things at a time.
Therefore, I need to focus on what my hand can do, rather than what I 
cannot do.
