One of the things I remember from the spiritual exercises stuff was that sometimes a distraction is not just a distraction, it could be God turning your head to something God wants you to sit with. So, it was suggested to sit with a distraction (instead of shooing it away because it will always come back)and see if there is fruit to it. If not, then move on and the distraction will probably pass now that you have acknowledged it. But if there is fruit to it, you might find another blog in it!! haha!

In any case, I just loved this practice because for me it 1-made me feel better about being distracted, its only natural and 2-it might actually be there for a reason!

Maybe extra points for when the congregation has new people in the pews stand up and introduce themselves. Extra points when the homily has more meat to the message than the announcements. Points taken away when the cantor misses a hymn. And an infinite number of points when you get out early to make it home in time to watch some football games.
