Week 6

It is the end of week 6 of this semester. Almost halfway through the semester. I feel like I have stretched myself with the classes that I have taken so far and I am pleased with my growth and progress. This week the video "Locality to God and Family" by Jan Newman really stood out to me. I found it profound the way he described how we use our time. There is a time in our lives when we really only have two things that occupy our time. These two things are school and free time. As we get older more things occupy our time and we will squeeze some of those things to make time for things we want to do. He warns against "squeezing" the wrong things. God and family shouldn't be "squeezed". The last thing that he said really stood out to me. He said, "a thousand years from now no one is going to ask you what company you ran, how much money you made. Your greatest legacy will be your family, and your service in the kingdom of God. Never forget that!" I will try to heed that council and always remember what is truly important and when I "squeeze" time it will be time that would have been spent on things that are less important.
