This Sunday I heard a single statement that stopped me in my tracks. Now, I was already sitting, so I guess technically I wasn’t moving however, it stopped my mind and I really dwelled on this one thought for a while. (This was hard to do after our disastrous Hymn Sing- more to follow on that later. Check back tomorrow for my side of the story on that)
The statement was made, “The best use of your life is to invest in something that will outlast your life.”
This got me thinking. What is it that I am investing my life in? Today, what did I invest my life in? I will have had 1,440 minutes today. How did I invest each of those moments? I will never get this day back. Nor will I ever get any of those minutes back. AM I USING THEM WISELY? I am praying that I do.
What did you invest your 86,400 seconds in today?

Hum… Worked for about 28,512 seconds, and slept for another 25,200. After I am done at work, it is hopefully to use the last 32,688 seconds to glorify God in some way. Maybe cook for my wife. Things like that. Well it is time to go and use those 32,688 seconds for God’s work.
Unfortunately I spent most of it procrastinating. I am even procrastinating as I type this. I spent some of it working on a project that is due at 9pm. Spent some thinking about my future. A lot of it procrastinating. A good chunk asking God if what I want to do is what I should be doing.
Sometimes it is helpful to just look and see what we’ve been doing all day… Got to stay focused… you know?
people last forever…
(so keep it up)
