Time Wasters

Have you ever thought about the things in life that annoy you because they seem like such a waste of time?  Like shaving your legs or putting away laundry.  Or Facebook:)  I feel like so much of my life is spending time on time wasters.  Sometimes I feel so guilty about watching TV or looking on Facebook.  I think about how I could have spent that time playing with my kids or making out with my husband.  But this is not a guilt trip but more of an encouragement to have moderation.  The world isn't going to stop revolving around the sun if we spend one evening watching Biggest Loser or if we spend an hour on Facebook once a week.  However we need to make sure that no one time waster is consuming a majority of our time.  Priorities help us keep our perspective and maintain balance in our lives.  Whatever your priorities are, write them down, or at least make a mental note.  This list may be what your ideal list of priorities is.  Then think about what is truly taking up your time and see if you need to make some adjustment.  My ideal list is God, family, friends.  I know in my heart I need to make a few adjustments.  Take some advice from Apostle Paul, "Everything is permissible for me -- but not everything is beneficial.  Everything is permissible for me -- but I will not be mastered by anything."
