Work and Leisure Time
In a study on how we use time, Dr. Matthew Sleeth has discovered that in the last twenty years, the amount of time we spend working has increased by 15% and our leisure time has gone down by 33%.
With all of the timesaving devices we use today, shouldn’t we be better off to goof off more? To put it in perspective, during the middle ages, people–in addition to Sundays–had 115 days off a year. and you???
Wow. So true. Many times I don’t even stop to enjoy the gift of breath! I’d say I get about 1/2 that many days off a year. We must be constantly reminded that SIMPLICITY is one of the keys to a balanced, successful life. And by successful I mean a life in which Crhist is the center and that our actions glorify and further his kingdom. Thanks for reminding me of this!
This is not good bro! Got to get that leisure time back.
That’s why I work in a church
Um…. guilty as charged. I am totally out of balance in that area
Thanks for the gentle reminder to get my act together, again.
Hi, my name is Dustin and I work with a Christian environmental organization called Christians in Conservation: A Rocha USA. I saw your post about Dr. Matthew Sleeth, and I thought that you might like to know that our organization sponsors him as a “creation care evangelist.” We would love for you to check us out at our website, en.arocha.org/usa. You might also be interested in reading Dr. Sleeth’s book on creation care, “Serve God, Save the Planet.” He was a website for it at http://www.servegodsavetheplanet.org.
You are doing everything you can to get me to come play basketball.
