Wasting Time

As the weather gets colder and we spend more time inside I have a tendancy to waste time. By nature I am a procrastinator and an excellent waster of time. I love a good nap, time to rest, time to relax under a warm blanket, figuring out a way to keep my hand warm as I endlessly switch channels on the TV. I don't mind rainy days because they give me more of a reason to rest and relax. The computer sort of follows this pattern as I can really enjoy reading my favorite blogs, reading comments, facebook, searching websites for a cute pair of jeans or finding the best deal on home furnishings. Computer time is just another outlet for me to relax, tune out...waste time. Don't get me wrong, much that I do on the computer is for good things...homeschooling resources, COMPASS responsibilities, emails, staying in touch with family. I think this video really helped me understand how I need to be careful and guard my time better and have more self control to do the things that God would consider important. Check out the point Joshua Harris makes about time on the computer. I thought it was an excellent point...especially for someone like me.
