Forgetfulness

What in God’s wonderful plan of salvation provides such a stumbling block?  Christians, who of all people should be the most joyful, humble, moral, and obedient, are the victims of a great epidemic of sorrow, boredom, immorality, and selfishness.  It cannot be disbelief, since it is belief that made the Christian in the first place.  The only alternative to a lack of belief is forgetfulness.  The last time I was gathered with the saints to worship God, and my mind drifted to thoughts about dinner, or football, or Monday’s plans, I certainly knew where I was and what I was doing.  I must have simply forgotten.
