"Two Heaping Handfuls Of Jack Squat"

"One of the great uses of Twitter and Facebook will be to prove at The Last Day that prayerlessness was not from a lack of time." John Piper

WOW!!! That is a kick in the pants right there and I don't use either of them. The ironic thing is he used Twitter to say it. Facebook and Twitter might not eat up your time but we all have something that devours precious minutes or hours of our time. I am setting in front of one thing right now that can steal hours from me if I let it. Where we spend or invest our time reveals what we value. Man, 12 hour days at work make it appear I value a dollar more than anything else. Or do I just value getting the boxes to the customer? Umm...pretty sure if the paycheck stopped I would stop. Actually, I have a high value of food and providing a temperature controlled home with lights and hot water for my family, therefore I work. Sleep would be the next most valuable thing. Sorry, but I really don't feel bad about putting a high value on that. How about Jesus? What did he do with his time? He still had the same amount of time in a day as we do. What did he value? He valued his Father's will and the calling that he gave him. I guess I need to quit saying I'm so busy. I need to focus on what God is calling me to do and not feel bad about not doing other good things he hasn't called me to do. This video from Driscoll pretty much sums it up like so much of his stuff does. I want to be fruitful not just "busy accomplishing 2 heaping handfuls of jack squat". I notice he quotes Romans 1:6..."Called To Belong" and also speaks of a mens retreat. Guess what I'm spending time preparing for. Yep "Called To Belong" the 2010 edition coming in August, and another mens retreat down at the ranch in June. :) Man am I busy!
