Watching TV for hours/achieving goals (Spending time vs investing time) Playing video games/ helping around the house (Pleasure vs thinking of others)
Here is a brief list of choices we could make: The thinking process behind how we go about our day relating to others, giving to others, and serving others is a reflection of our heart, beliefs, and convictions. We have choices to serve ourselves or serve others.
I’m just trying to learn and blog so I can continually remind myself of the truths contained in scripture. I’m by no means a person that has this all figured out. Spiritually, our heart informs our beliefs, desires, actions, habits, and sows a character that makes up a person. Righteousness and evil can be present in anyone regardless of attractiveness, occupations, wealth, friends, works, etc.

How do two beautiful teenage girls murder there best friend Skylar Neese? Sometimes our personalities and outward actions can cover up what’s really going on inside the heart. We all go through seasons of life and adjust our time schedules toward goals and productivity.
