Time Wasters!!!!

It is very interesting, my husband sent me this article about 12 time wasters, but I would also call a "Christian's pitfalls into wasting time".  So I wanted to share with you, the interesting thing is it was published by Puritans in the 1600's, what's amazing about it, it IS similar to today.  I will give a translation for some others are self explanatory, enjoy.

• "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do--do it all for the glory of God!" 1 Corinthians 10:31
