I am on a killing spree. That’s right. I have been taking inventory of things in my life that are time and money wasters. There are some things, for me and my life, have to go. I have come to the point in my life where I realize if I am going to be what the Father has called me to be I must be laser focused. While Facebook and Twitter and other things are fun have some positive aspects, for me they become a huge distraction and recently have caused me to fall into the sin of ENVY.

Envy: “painful or resentful awareness of an advantage enjoyed by another joined with a desire to possess the same advantage” - Merriam-Webster Online

“a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another’s advantages, success, possessions, etc.” - dictionary.com

So for now, I have to put these things aside and focus on things that will help me be a stronger Christ Follower, Husband, Dad, Boss, Pastor, Elder, Friend… I have also added a couple of new goals in my life like reading more and learning to be a more effective writer.

Tolstoy’s definition of wealth was “the number of things one can do without”. Not only will that breed wealth but I also think doing without somethings will help us gain spiritual clarity and put our focus on Jesus and less focus on the creation.
