Anybody else stressed by that? I mean, I was stressed a little bit of that. Show hands.

Anybody stressed about that? It's not enough hands, by the way. I want to help the rest of you

join us. If you're not stressed, let's try this. This right here represents your life.

This is your life in 4,680 days if you live to 90, which is generous.

The average life expectancy in America is 79.

I'm going to give you 90 years.

If you live to be 90, this is how many weeks you have in your life, 4,680 weeks.

But you've already lived some.

On average, I don't know if you know this, you're 35 years old, which looking around, that's generous as well. But you're 35 years old. And so you've already lived this number of lives. These ones are already gone. And by the way, you have to sleep. You're going to need rest. Between now and when you're 90, especially in the latter years, you're going to sleep a lot. This represents over 1,038 weeks that you're going to sleep of your remaining weeks that you have left in your life. 371 of these are going to be used for work. You're going to spend time at work. Then you're going to spend some time actually working outside of work because you've got stuff you've got to do at home. got to take care of your house. You got to take care of your yard. You have a whole bunch of stuff like that. That's another 206 weeks. Then you got to eat. Some of you know this. And you have 153 weeks left of eating. And I could eat for a few less of those weeks, just to say that out loud,

but you're going to spend 153 weeks eating so you food eats, you got lots of eating left. And then

this is a little depressing. You're going to spend 98 weeks in the car. And that does not include

Atlanta traffic. So if you're commuting into town, you can just go ahead and double that, because

you're going to spend way more time in your car than everybody else. So that leaves you 994 weeks. Of all the weeks that you have in your life, you only have on average, and some of you are a little above average and a little below average, if you know what I mean. You have 994 weeks left. Oh, I almost forgot. If your average age is 35, you're a millennial.

And so as a millennial, you're going to spend 4.6 hours a day on your phone. So you're

going to spend 545 hours of that on your phone. Now, all the Gen X people and the boomers are

laughing, but you're not far behind, by the way. You're catching up. You're accelerating and catching up to the millennials. And Gen Z, you shouldn't laugh. You're way beyond them. You're spending way more time on your phone than them. Here's why we're talking about this is because I know there's something that's true of you that's also true of me. Your time is valuable to you. I feel this every time I stand up here in front of a group people, believe it or not, I think the number of people times the amount of time up here and I start to get stressed. I'm like, I'm responsible for all of that time. And I know your time's valuable. So we're going to try to make good use of your time because we talk about time. It's so valuable. We talk about in terms of money. Think about the way you think about your time. You think about spending time and how you're going to spend your time. And you think about how you want to invest your time. And you think about what you're doing to waste your time. And you're careful about how you use your time because you want to spend it wisely and you want to invest it wisely and you want to keep from wasting your time because you know what I know that the one thing you can't do is you can't store up time. You know that

time is something that as every moment becomes more scarce because every passing moment is a moment that you can't get back.

A.W. Tozer, one of my favorite old dead guy, theologian guys, this is what he said.

He said, time is a resource that is non-renewable and non-transferable.

You can't store it up, slow it up, hold it up, divide it up, or give it up.

You can't hoard it or save it for a

rainy day. When it's lost, it's unrecoverable. How's our stress levels now? Are we doing better?
