Most Americans spend six months of their lives sitting at traffic lights, contends a time management expert. Michal Fortino, president of the Priority Management Pittsburg, Inc., bases those and other estimates on his firm’s year long research. The study indicates that the average person in the United States spends one year searching for misplaced objects (eye-glasses, keys, etc.), six years eating, and eight months opening junk mail. We spend five years waiting in lines at banks, stores, theaters, sports events, the post office, etc.

How much time do we spend praying, reading God’s Word, and serving him? We spend a lot of time doing everything but those things should be our priority.
