Making the Time for Prayer

This will be a quick one today.

I really don't have to go into all the reasons the next statement is true because I will see what you are all up to over Facebook and twitter in a few minutes.

We are BUSY being BUSY.  We, as in the world, the country, and us specifically.    We are busy, as in we have over scheduled lives, going non-stop from dawn till dusk and late into the night.  We are busy being busy with all those things that we have to or feel compelled to do every day.

So, here is my question for you girls: what are you producing in all that business?  I am not talking about papers and homework, or even the Bell Tour.  What about the other things that eat up the minutes of your day?  What do those activities produce?

At some point each one of you has given as excuse to me for why you don't have time to read your bible, or even to pray.  For some of you those excuses came along time ago (9th grade?) and for others it was a theme for senior year.

Somehow though, we always seem to find time for the things we truly hunger for like Facebook, movies, reading, La Berry, hair products, texting, etc etc etc.  I can hear some of you right now about how texting is quick and easy, or you really haven't had time for facebook lately, or if you don't have La Berry you Will.  Just.  Die.    ;-)

Here is today's lesson pure and simple: prayer is vital for a healthy faith and life in Christ.  You can always find time for a quick "text" to God, though I desire for you and myself to prioritize prayer to be the thing that we are busy doing at some extended point during your (my) day.
