While we were at summer camp, the camp pastor told us about a movement to get people reading their bibles. Apparently, the average person can read one chapter of the New Testament in 3 minutes and 45 seconds. While it is HIGHLY recommended that a person spend longer than that reading the Word daily, the entire New Testament can be read in a year at this pace.( Reading five days a week and allowing for makeup days on the weekends. ) So, because I understand how hard it can be to make time for everything throughout the day, I have compiled a list, with the help of friends and family, of things that can be and are done daily that take the same amount of time. (3:45):
1. Set the dinner table; change a light bulb
2. watch an entire commercial break on TV or, more likely, surf through the channels
3. download a new app or restart your device; check/send emails; update your status on social media; create a new playlist
4. Make your bed; sweep/vacuum a room; unload the dryer/dishwasher; start a load of laundry( yes kids it can be done that quick without all of the complaining)
5. Create a new meme about a funny looking sunburn
6. eat a snack or microwave a bag of popcorn; toast bread
7. Take a quick shower(especially if you're bald); brush your teeth( or put them in); run a bubble bath for your wife; paint your toenails (especially if you only have 9)
8. Rotate the couch cushions and look for change
9. Gas up your vehicle; pre-flight check a small plane
10. Listen to/dance to/sing your favorite song; watch a YouTube video about stupid puns
11. read this crazy list again(disclosure: it's time you will never get back)
