Just came across this article from an obviously old magazine (no date).
"In this era we have become second-wise and hour-foolish. We have 604,800 seconds to live each week. Allowing 201,600 for sleep, 144,000 for work, 50,400 for eating, 20,000 for travel, 40,000 for relaxing, and 360 for a church service, this leaves 148,440 for which we must give account. It has been estimated that the average person of seventy has spent 4 YEARS in education, 8 YEARS in amusements, 6 in eating, 11 working, 23 sleeping, 5 1/2 washing and dressing, 6 in walking, 3 in conversation, 3 in reading, and ONLY 6 MONTHS IN WORSHIP. We do not need more time. What we need to do is learn to use more wisely the time we have."
Many times I hear lots of excuses as to why people aren't involved in a small group, Life Study (Sunday School), serving in the community, etc... The #1 excuse? You guessed it..."I don't have the time."
Really? Nope. You've filled your time with what you think is important.
I wonder what God thinks is important...
