Life Means So Much - By Chris Rice
Everyday is a journal page
Every man holds a quill and ink
And there’s plenty of room for writing in
All we do and believe and think
So will you compose a curse
Or will today bring the blessings
Fill the page with rhyming verse
Or some random sketchings
Teach us to count the days
Teach us to make the days count
Lead us in better ways
Somehow our souls forgot
Life means so much
Life means so much
Life means so much
Everyday is a bank account
And time is our currency
So no one’s rich, nobody’s poor
We get twenty-four hours each
So how are you gonna spend
Will you invest or squander
Try to get ahead
Or help someone who’s under
Teach us to count the days
Teach us to make the days count
Lead us in better ways
Somehow our souls forgot
Life means so much
Life means so much
Life means so much
Has anybody lived who knew the value of a life?
And don’t you think giving his own
Would prove the worth of yours and mine?
Teach us to count the days
Teach us to make the days count
Lead us in better ways
Somehow our souls forgot
Life means so much
Life means so much
Life means so much

Life Means So Much
So, lately I've been musing a lot on how to spend my time more wisely. Since coming to school, I've found that my tendency to just kind of piddle away my life (especially in computer related ways) seems to have gotten worse. Afte two nights of being up way too late writing last minute essays combined with the sermon I listened to yesterday about making wise choices with our time. I have decided that something must be done. Action must be taken. Therefore, to attain this end, I wrote out a list yesterday of things that I'm going to give up for the week and things which I am going to purpose to include in my weekly schedule. One of those things is writing at least once, maybe twice a week in this blog. :) Other things include more exercise, Scripture memorization, a more disciplined schedule of Scripture reading and prayer, and a more regular study routine (hopefully resulting in no more 3 a.m. papers!). On a final note, I'm going to leave you with a song by Chris Rice (one of my favourite artists). May you all have a blessed week and spend your time wisely in service to Christ. Remember, He gave His life for us. How will we spend the precious time He's given us?

I really like the song! It has great words!
ReplyDeleteI have noted the same thing in myself. Too much waisted time that I could use to...read God's word, study, write, and serve my family. I am going to try and be better.

I am pretty good at piddling away time, too. Recently I have been watching old episodes of The Twilight Zone on Youtube. (Also, I am leaving comments on blogs written by people I will never meet.)
ReplyDeleteCynthia: Thanks! It was great getting to spend some time with you this week. :)
ReplyDeleteSD: lol. Yeah... I've been watching Dr. Who on Netflix instant play. It's lots of fun. As for leaving comments on blogs, I will say that you are probably my most frequent commenter, and I appreciate it hugely. It's nice to know that someone's reading this stuff, even if I never do meet you! :D
If you can tolerate a heavy dose of cynicism and political diatribes, stop by my blog sometime. I mostly talk to myself over there. It would be nice to have some comments. My first name is Andrew, by the way.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing: I noticed that your full name is displayed on that Facebook thing. It's probably no big deal, but you should be careful about using your real name on your blog. There are lots of weirdos.
