4. What is one great quote from what you’re reading?
This is actually not something I’m reading now, but that a friend of mine forced me to read while we made a brief detour and stop at an old hangout in Chattanooga, TN…
It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much. Life is long enough and our allotted portion generous enough for our most ambitious projects if we invest it all carefully. But when it is squandered through luxury and indifference, and spent for no good end, we realize it has gone, under the pressure of the ultimate necessity, before we were aware it was going. So it is: the life we receive is not short but we make it so; we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully. Kingly riches are dissipated in an instant if they fall into the hands of a bad master, but even moderate wealth increases with use in the hands of a careful steward; just so does our life provide ample scope if it is well managed. - Seneca, “On the Shortness of Life”
5. Why are you blogging? You’re supposed to be reading!
- Shutup!
TAGGED: Anyone who reads this blog and chooses to do so. Obviously the timing is limited to Southern Seminary, but what the heck?
