Wholy devoted

So. It is Nov 11th. At my favorite coffee shop today they were playing Christmas music and the boutique across the street had a tree in the window. TOO SOON! I don't know if the web site is up and running yet but It has been too long so I figured I should write something anyway.
In bible study and in my weekly discussion group about the book THE SHACK (good read by the way if you have not as yet) the subject of following God ,staying in close relationship with him, with all your heart keeps coming up. It always sound so good and I want that but.. How? I would love input from anyone on that topic. I chuckled today as I was listening to the soundtrack of Mama Mia and the song lyrics were "Don't go wasting your emotion, lay all your love on me. Don't go sharing your devotion ......"There it is. We are not to let the things of the world pull our love and devotion from God to themselves. Sounds easy. So how do YOU live that way?? I can do it for maybe five minutes at a time.
