LIFE IS NOT A CIRCUS, ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING

LOIS CARLSON

THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR

STARTLED, TO SAY THE LEAST, was what I felt when one of my spiritual mentors said to me rather matter-of-factly, "I think God asks us to do only one thing at a time."

My ears were pricked because I was probably watching the clock in order to pick up my son at school after returning a client's phone call and making sure that dinner would be on the table when I got back from doing the church project that was spread all over the dining-room table. Do one thing at a time? HA! I prided myself on having many balls in the air at the same time.

And this was before cellphones.
