I read one of the blog comments and thought I’d respond: “I’m curious as to where you place multitasking on the progression-line of spiritual maturity?”

I think it’s towards the top of the list. I think we’ve got to get past “compartmentalizing” God. The ultimate goal is to be conscious of God moment-by-moment. Heaven will be the uninterrupted presence of God. So the goal is to move in that direction now. To appreciate every blessing, to notice God’s handiwork all around us, to sense His unconditional love for us all the time. I think spiritual multitasking is the difference between a dial-up and DSL. Spiritual maturity is DSL. We’re online all the time and our bandwidth continually increases.

All of that is to say this: spiritual multitasking is at the top of the “spiritual actualization pyramid” to borrow Maslow’s hierarchy terminology. Like Jacob in Genesis, we come to the realization that “God was in this place and I didn’t know it.”
