2912 Hours

October 3, 2013 By Holly Smith Leave a Comment

So I’m sitting here in carpool with just six minutes to post.  I began to do some math: 2hrs. a day on average, and it’s probably a low estimate, times 7 days a week times 52 weeks a year times 4 years.  All time spent on social media…even with weekend breaks now and again, it is still probably low. 2912 hours on social media. 121 and a third days I will never be able to get back.

Just some perspective.  How are you spending time, friends?

People have asked me if I miss it. Truth be told? Not enough to want it back.  I have enjoyed this “off the grid” feeling.  I have enjoyed thinking and doing and saying things just because.  Just an audience of ONE for me these days.

And I like it!

Father, help us to really count the cost of time we spend.  Help us to spend it freely on those around us. Help us to get back engaged in this world in which we live.  May we live for you, Jesus. Amen.
