keeping my eye on the ball

Figure skaters spin at such unbelievably fast speeds that it can make even spectators feel a little woozy, which begs the question, “How do they not get dizzy?” Biomedical specialist Kathleen Cullen says spinning without stumbling is an art perfected over time. “Some athletes, like ballet dancers, will fix their eyes on a specific spot on the wall to provide a fixed reference."
“If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.”
​– Matthew 6:22
Affirmative prayer: Today, as the world of effects swirls about me, I keep my attention fixed on the constant and true reality: that Spirit is present in, through, and as everything. I look at chaos and see Divine Order. I look through the distractions of pessimism and dysfunction and see God’s wholeness re-presenting itself in the midst of the condition. In the demands and hurriedness of the day, I keep my eye on the ball: the love and power of God. Amen.
