See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Ephesians 5:15-16
What does this mean to you? How are you redeeming the time?

I didn't realize they used the word "reindeer" in the bible. I'm not sure what reindeer time is, but this must be a hit to the fact that Santa is alive.
hmmm...

To me that means that we use each moment to it's fullest capicity. And if, in the past we have wasted or frittered away precious moments then we are to use the time that we have left wisely.
Now, do I do this? I try, but I am not consistant with it. Sometimes I find myself "multitasking" so much that I am merely spinning my wheels.
Anyone else?

Women are the original multitaskers men's brains being what they are. No offense guys, it's that right brain/left brain thing. In times before you had to think of what gruel you would be making for breakfast after dinner so it would be ready by morning, bread had to be made the day before & so on. Now I think we multitask to our detriment. Where is the time spent quietly so we can "Be still & know that I am God"? Most people talk on their cell phones along with the radio in their cars. No quiet there. If you have little ones you can't even go to the bathroom alone! When we concentrate & do one task at a time in an orderly fashion we can spend some thinking time IF we are alone. When raising children we grab those few minutes before/after they are in bed. Do you ever find yourself starting a task & then moving somewhere else & starting another while the first remains unfinished?
