Just a matter of time?

STEVE GRAHAM, SENIOR MANAGING EDITOR

Which would you rather have—more free time or more money? According to the results of a poll that Reuters published last month (and this isn't the first time I've heard of such findings), a significant majority of Americans "ranked free time as their top priority" over wealth, success, marriage, and children.

Perhaps this increased value on free time stems from the constant connectedness so many of us have to technology. The free time we used to take for granted is now almost unattainable. Not that everyone feels this way. For some, the desire might be for less hours to fill, in the course of days that seem to drag on uneventfully.

However you may be feeling right now about the way time is affecting your life, this week's Sentinel points out that it's helpful to consider how God fits into the picture. We think you'll find some fresh ways to approach this commodity we call "time," by putting a conscious effort to commune with your Creator first, consistently, no matter what's clamoring for your attention.
