Welcome to Riveted! My name is Jack Anderson. I love God. Yet I've noticed lately that I haven't noticed Him lately. I'm too easily distracted from the one most worthy of my attention. What captures my attention captures my heart.

By the way I spend my time when I can spend it as I want. By the choices I make when I can make any choice. By what I want most when I can want anything. By the thoughts that fill my mind when I can focus on anything. I know you matter most. But do you matter most to me? Read More. |
