So far over the course of this video series we have talked about the truth of many things. We have heard from many people of many walks of life. I want to know what is it that you worship so to speak or devote much of you time to in your life at this time. I would also like to know why you have chosen this and what it will bring to you as a return of investment. With this year coming to a close be honest and open. Earn your 10 pionts.

its bad to have idols but its so hard not to have them. i think what would be mine is probably the t.v. it seems such a useless thing to spend your time doing but somehow i always spend countless hours on it. i think the reason i watch it so much is to escape reality. i love to watch other ppl live their lives. maybe thats why i love books so much as well cuz it lets me forget about the world around me. although i do gain a lot of knowledge from watching prob what its giving me in return is headaches, loss of precious time and loss of reality.

At this time of my life I worship and devote much of my time to my mom. The reason why I devote much time to my mom is because of the love she has shown me over the years. What my devotion to my mom will bring to me as an investment to me is that I will be able to show my mom and other people the love and care that I have received.

Personally, I dont exactly worship any god, but i do believe that there is one. I spent a lot of my time thinking and pondering about things related to psychology, rather than spending time to worship. I'm not so big on worshipping God because frankly, i really don't know why, maybe I'm a bit skeptical. Even though I don't use my time to worship, i do believe that I will gain some amount of wisdom in this life. I guess I'm a more (in the words of Emir) inquistive about this world. than I am about God.

I think at this time I have two. One is my grandma, because she is the only one that always gave me the best idea and hope in my family. I knew she love me so much, because she stay in Belize take care of me and my sis, I knew she is alone mostly, because the language problem makes her can't talk to anyone else, escpt Taiwanese. To me she is very important. So whenever I got problem, I walked to her, and she will help me. She is old, sometimes she can't gave me a 'real' help, but she always tell me the truth and make my heart warm.

I devote most of my time to my phone to be honest. It wont bring me anything good really, that’s sad to say and I have realized that devoting most of my time to my phone wont turn into something positive. Something that comes immediately after texting is spending time with loved ones. I love to spend time with my friends and family, I chose to enjoy this because it shows me many different ways on how people view life. I know that some people may say that you and your family must view life similarly but that isn’t true, we all have many different opinions and that is the same with my friends, we all view something differently.

I don't exactly worship any god, but I believe him. I don't know who is GOD, but he is like celestial to me. If God is imaginary to you then it is because He has not opened your eyes to see Him. Regarding prayer, He has ALWAYS answered mine…..you must only know how to pray. He is not so small that I can always comprehend His ways, instead, He is almighty and all powerful…. Vast enough to be worshiped and held as Holy. My prayer is that He would open the eyes of those who do not “see” Him.

With what has happend. I find myself thinking of what life has to offer. Over the past days i spend some time praying which i did not before. I have also learnt to appreciate my mother more and even help at home doing house chore. Therefore, beliveing in God and spending time in communication is being more rewarding and making me feel more happier.

Well I hardly do spend time on internet or watch TV... only on weekends for a lil but for the most part i practically give myself to work and keep myself busy like workout and homework along with all the chores I do some evenings and mornings. That is pretty much what I do all the time. I don't really think I picked this because if it were up to me I would spend all my time with my friends.. But i know with what I'm doing now that it is going to help me a lot but with all the little minutes I spend in between i might read a book I have, but instead I could sacrifice those minutes to God to receive profit from what I do every day..But i have experienced that if i pray first thing in the morning my day is wayy better an i should devote more time to Him!

Personally, I believe in God. From when I wake up, I have pray time/ quiet time with my mom. After I come back from school, I have my own schedule such as going to flute classes, teaching piano classes, etc. After I get done with that, I usually study or help my mom. At nine, we have pray time with all of my family members. I won't say that I chose to do this, but I guess it is my set schedule. Although I have some quiet time in the morning and night, I won't say that I am close to God. I know that I can still set my extra time with God talking to Him and just having a separate time with God.

To me God is somethat you can talk t in a time of need, he is also someone who is watching over you even though you don't know he's watching on you. he is also someone amnt people go to when their are in need of spiritual guidence, or if their haveing problems at home or school they talk to him to see how they can work it out. at times i would see my parents talking him and i wouldn't join them, but now that i now a liitle more about him i join them every now an then.

GOD IS NOT JUST MY CREATOR HE IS ALSO MY FRIEND SOMEONE WHO I TRUTH WITH ALL MY SERECTS EVEN IF HE DOES ANSWER ME I FEEL LIKE HE IS BY MY SIDE AND IS HELPING ME TO SEE THE RIGHT PATH INTO THE GATES OF HEAVEN SO I THANK HIM FOR EVERY THING HE HAS GIVEN ME AND FOR THE WONDERFUL BLESSINGS HE HAS PUT UPON ME

Well I believe and trust in God, I can tell him anything and ask him anything, he knows alot about me, he is the only person that knows me very well and how I feel inside. He knows when I am down,sad or happy.Even if i try to hide things from him he will still be able to know,he watches over us.In truth, although God knows about me I still devote myself to my phone, my phone is my everything, I love texting and calling people. I text my friends everyday and even my really good friends, I won't get anything positive in return but instaed of texting all the time; I should hang out with a bunch of friends or invite friends over at my house. If I lose my phone I think I will cry,but luckily I always write down people's phone numbers in a special book.

To me my God is a person i can look up to and depend on. The person that plays the biggest role in my life,he leads me away from sin and into good and pure things. The only one that can be at my side all the time.

honestly im not caught up in most things teenagers do. i spend most of my time either reading, studying, running, painting or just having fun with karate =) i have noticed that if i wake up earlier in the day i am more cheerful but of course it is always hard to wake up early. i try to study and do homework first thing but that isnt always the case, i always end up doing it later. i know that i could spend less time doing what i like and more time doing what God likes. although it is hard i manage sometimes, like for example i read the Bible more often than i use to and i talk more positively around people or so i think. many obstacles may enter your life but you can overcome any one of them by calling on the name of the Lord. 5/31/2010 01:57:58 pm
Honestly, i guess that I'm quite easy at getting very distracted easily. This is normal for me especially when dealing with electronics and friends. I use to be very very close to my mom, and would constantly spend a lot of time with her, but recently, i been spending ALL my time with friends. By all my time I mean that i would leave the house on a Friday evening, and not come back to my family until Sunday afternoon...therefore i spend the entire weekend with my friends. I know that at this point in my life, I may think that friends and electronics, even fashion is all that matters, but that is not what God has planned for me to focus on. Of course i always make time for God in m life, but i think that i must also learn to make time for my family as well. Its not that i spend 24/7 with them, because i do spend some time reading, dancing, writing, playing, etc. But perhaps i need to learn how to share myself equally on what matters most.

I personally don't worship any gods, but I believe there is a god. The God that I believe is Jehovah and Jesus Christ. I believe that if we really believes in Him, He's definitely stand by us! But I have to admit, I want God to stand by me, to stand on my side, but I still don't really "trust" nor "believe" Him yet! I think if I believe in God with all my heart, He will bless me with everything!

Despite I do believe in Jesus Crist and God and keep in prayer I find my self more intunned with my bed. The reason for this is that I spend a lot of time on my bed using the computer, watching TV or using my guitar. I belive that I should spend quality time with God and enjoy life.

Most of the time i will be either at home listening to music while doing my chores or at school. my life is always the same routine. from school to my house and from my house to church. i really dont like going to church its kinda boring. but i dont mind it that much. i would love to spend more time with my friends but my parents dont let me. so when im invited to a party i make sure that i get permission cause its my one opportunity to get out of my house. i know that i should do my all to go to church instead of parties but at this point of my life it seems the hardest thing for me to do.

I dont like to say i have an idol but yet i know i sort do. at this time i would say my idol would be movies. Like when i have a spare minute ill start watching a movie and then i just cant stop myself from finishing it. Or when i have like nothing to do ill think read my bible or watch a movie? its so hard for me to choose my bible but i pick up but i dont read for very long and i switch to a movie. I know this is not a good thing and i would like to stop and i sort a am but yet its still hard.

To be honest.. lately i have been spending more time in front of the t.v. then i have spending time with God. Recently i have noticed that almost anything can distract me or interrupt my time with God so it makes me feel that my relationship with God is very weak at the moment. One other thing that has been an idol for me almost my entire life is sports, its not a bad thing but it draws my attention away from God though it is physically very good for me.

Though the answer of the top of my head would be facebook, or texting, my real idol I believe, is how other people see me. I spend so much time, not only working on my physical appearance, but my character I have come to worship it.

Since I read this and it made me think honestly how much i've been far away from God. I've been mostly spending the rest of my spare time watching movies Tv or the computer. I should step aside and have more time with God. yes, sundays go to church but, it should be everyday for me to pray and talk to God about my problems. I have not gotten that communication with God since. And I have to start again. I have to set aside my spare time with prayer time (:

Well rite now in life i spend alot of time with the tv:) because it has so much atractive stuff to watch... the tv is not a good thing to waste all your time with because life is meant to live it not to stay home in front of a tv i kno that its not good but yet we watch tv 24 7... besides that i dont waste my time on anything else....

I will be honest with myself and confess that I don’t devote all my time to god as much as I know I’m supposed to. Distraction is in everything I see. If I had 10 minutes to spare, either by praying or sit and stare at a motionless rock, I would most definitely pick the rock. Indeed it is a real air head move! I have gradually seen myself create idols out of thin air and sit and watch as my relationship with god sink to deep depts. I don’t have anything in “specific” that I devote all my time too, but I do know it’s not god. in the long run, I know I chose the less fortunate path, for it leaves me no reward. I do believe it’s the lack of hope and ambition that keeps me from devoting all my time to god.

will, i'v usually spending a lot of times with my friends... i luv to chat with them, talk with them, hanging out with them and text them.. Why? Because i found out that i am more happier when im with my friends than staying in my house and do nothing... it's because my parents is not here and i'm only staying with my gurdian and my sis... Friends can make you laugh and they can just make you forget your stress and even though you had a really bad day, they can turn into a good day in just a minute... i believe that God knows that i'm always sad and depress, that's why he give me those friends that can make me so happy... even though sometimes i put a smile on my face, i can never forget the pain in my heart... But i trust God that one day, He won't make me suffer anymore! :) Leave a Reply. | "Coach D"I am Mr. Morrow - or better known as Coach D. I am your facilitator for this class.
