So what should one do with all that time?

We are fortunate, in this country, to have an abundance of things to occupy our time. I could:

  • Watch TV
  • Play video games
  • Enjoy any of the thousands of modern conveniences available today

Some of which I do occasionally. However more often than now, I end up

  • Working out
  • Researching new technologies
  • Maintenance on the in-house servers
  • Write a blog entry

Seldom, but I’m learning to make it more often, I simply take the time to simply enjoy God’s creation. I spend time in his Word. Or literally watch my garden grow at His hand.

There are many who would say that time should not be wasted; that time unspent at work is lost and never to be recovered. A few short years ago, I would have agreed. But some time ago, I realized that life already moves at too fast a pace than I am comfortable with everyday.

We are entrenched in technology. It integrates into every facet of our lives. Take a little time every now and then to unplug or eventually you’ll burn out.
