How To Pick A Fig

Know how to pick a ripe fig? I'm reading Philip Yancey's book, "Grace Notes" each evening. Tonight during the reading I found out how:

"Watch the ones butterflies light on several times, testing, until they move on to their preferred overripe ones."

You know what it takes to pick a fig? The skill of ATTENTION. Pay attention more and your ministry will be more effective. Your marriage will be more robust. Your parenting moments will improve.

The enemy of attention is distraction. Fight it and you will win. Learn how to "pick a fig" and you'll be serving strong!
