interesting thoughts from SCM

Not school of church music- but Smart Classroom Management- the blog I follow. This was in the article on improving students' focus: https://www.smartclassroommanagement.com/2019/01/05/strength-student-focus-improve-behavior/

-trying to mimic worldly distractions

-exercising and disciplining the mind. "Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect." Self-Discipline "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize."
