Twelve Million Minutes

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick....

Yes! Twelve million minutes during your life time is spent doing what?? Let's look at this breakdown:

Most of us live a "three-score-and-ten-year life span", we're given 36 million minutes!

1/3 of that 36 million (12 million minutes) are spent sleeping (roughly 8 hours a night in bed)
1/3 of that 36 million (another 12 million minutes) are spent working (roughly 8 hours a day at work)

Now, we're left with another third, another 12 million minutes. What do we call this? Most people in the world properly call this remaining 12 million minutes, "Our Own Time". It's a time to do as we please. It's a time that is "disposable". OUCH!

Doesn't that make you think? 12 million minutes doesn't sound a lot! Think about what God want you to do with those minutes. The first 12 million in bed is a good way to recuperate, the R&R period preparing you for the other 24 million minutes out in the field that's ripe for harvest. What do you do with the 12 million minutes at work? What do you do with the 12 million minutes of your "free time"?
