Automatic Focus

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,

whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are

just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever

things are lovely, whatsoever things are of

good report; if there be any virtue, if there

be any praise, think on these things.

My digital camera has a mind of it's own, and I've never quite figured out how to change it. The automatic focus is great most of the time. I can just point the camera and it does the work. But there are times when one object is closer than the rest of the picture and the automatic focus becomes obsessed with it - it perfectly focuses on that object and blurs the rest of the picture.

I guess I can be a little bit like my digital camera at times. Have you ever been there? One annoyance is in your face and that's all you can see for the rest of the day. The beauty of the scenery, the smile of a cashier, your health and vitality.... it all becomes faded background as that one annoyance takes on center stage clarity.

Maybe it's time to get out the old style camera's where we do the focusing, adjust the light settings and take control of what we're focusing on.
