Making the Most of our Time

Verse: Colossians 4:5

How do we use our time? It might be instructive to track how we use the 168 hours we have available each week.

Right off the bat, 56 of those hours should be dedicated to sleep (My family would say I cut that one a touch short). Then, if you are still in the workplace or in school, you can account for another 50 hours there. That leaves somewhere around 60 hours to account for.

How you use those 60 hours will have a profound effect on your life. We all have different pressures on our lives, the blueprint is going to look different for each of us. That said, it would do us all good to spend some of that time in distinct types of exercise. There is PHYSICAL exercise (like this week’s exercise challenge outlined below), MENTAL exercise (maybe doing a Crossword, Wordle, Nerdle (a version of Wordle for math geeks), or reading a book), and SPIRITUAL exercise (engaging in a small group or yes even reading this and coming to our group meeting at Campo Y on Saturday at 7:00AM, if you live in Brandon).  Hitting all three exercise groups each week should be a goal!

Physical Exercise Challenge: 40 minutes of daily aerobic activity (running, walking, biking, swimming, or like activity) for at least 4 days this week! And for those that want to you can maintain 100 minus your age push-up, sit-up, plank challenge.

Have a great week!
