Life throws distractions at us from every angle. It's so easy to forget things and miss out on what we should be doing. Sometimes we miss the point for a moment, and sometimes we miss it entirely. Paul makes it clear when writing to the young pastor Titus, that we are here for a reason, and that's to do good things, and that takes work.
Titus 3:14
In order to grow a fruitful life, you need to get to work growing it.
