Is it just me?

Do you find that the older you get the less time there is or that time flies?...Seems there isn't enough hours in the day even with getting up earlier and staying up later (9:00pm is late for me when i get up at 4:00 am)...It seems we are kept stuck in the busy-ness of the day, having less time for the Word and even less for self.
 I bring this up because of my devotion today  (Prov. 4:5,6) about  wisdom...... the comment said "Put the Word first and there will surely be glorious victories ahead"----


Blessings!

Hi Teri,
It is not just you.  I retired, and find myself still having to schedule my devotions and Bible Study, because I can get easily distracted, between doctor appointments, and walking the dog, and my crafts, and cleaning...before I know it, I am in bed, wondering what I did with my day,a nd kicking myself because I did not do my Bible Study. 

I think this is why so many people go on retreats.  I used to go to a church that had them every Spring, and in addition to a great time in the Word, we also had some time for ourselves to spend time with the Lord.  No TVs, or radios, or phones, well back then we did not have cell phones. 

I need to disconnect myself from all the technology sometimes and spend more time in the Word. 

Hugs,
Trish
Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

You are so right! I think when we get around fiftyish we fall into a time warp of some sort and time goes faster. The way I look at it, I'll have to live to be 150 to finish all the projects I have going on now. I find I have to do my prayer and devotion time first thing when I wake up or it does get lost in the busyness of the day. I think we all have trouble with that. It sure is good tho to see so many more folks posting here!

Amen to all the above!  I think I need to take a fast from technology.   First thing in the  morning is best for me, too.   Else I get busy and forget...  I am over 50 too.  Yes time just flies the older I get.
