~ Christians Can't Multi-Task ~

An excerpt from an article at Boundless webzine. Very interesting point! You can read the whole thing by clicking here. Here's the humorous highlight...

Imagine a movie where the noncommittal boyfriend finally gets down on one knee, looks up into the eyes of his sweetheart, and solemnly intones, "Baby, to signify how important our relationship has become to me, I am now removing the second earpiece of my iPod."

Soaring orchestral music rises in triumph as he reaches to his ear, never taking his eyes off of her, and in a radical display of commitment removes the glistening piece of white plastic and places it carefully in his pocket for later use.

After several moments of silence, while his sweetheart allows the last strains of Coldplay to fade from her own remaining earpiece, she returns the display of devotion. Then, they kiss. This is Hollywood at its finest.

....

The truth is that multitasking often hampers our productivity, robs us of quiet thought, and keeps us from demonstrating Christ's love. For these reasons we can see that multitasking is generally more of a hindrance than a help.

However, the lazy part of us wants to jump on that and say, "No multitasking, ever!" It's much easier to make a legalistic declaration than to continue asking the right questions. However, we must take the harder road of not rejecting multitasking entirely, but rather carefully evaluating each situation as another opportunity to determine what most glorifies God.
