Stats on time

In follow up to how people use their time...

Get this

Based off of an 85 year lifespan, a person (on average) will spend:

-2 minutes a day brushing his teeth, which is
12.1 hours in a year
43.1 (24 hour) days in a lifetime

-15 minutes a day using the restroom, which is
91.25 hours in a year
46.2 weeks in a lifetime

-2 hours a day watching TV, which is
30.4 days in a year
7.1 years in a lifetime

How much time we spend in prayer? How much do we spend reading the Bible? It adds up over the course of a lifetime. If we could devote just one minute a day to studying the word, that would be 21.6 days of Bible reading over the course of a lifetime. Just one minute! Just five minutes in prayer would be 15.4 weeks of prayer in a lifetime. Imagine how much time you spend talking to your friends everyday. I'm sure it's more than five minutes. Shouldn't we want to spend more of our time talking to the one who gave it to us? It's not much to ask for. And we have 1440 minutes in a 24 hour day, thats 960 minutes not including the average 8 hours of sleep. Do we really just not have the time? Think about it...
