How do many of us spend our free time (assuming we have any free time)? Do you collapse on the couch and watch television? Do you feel guilty that you are not doing anything? John Ortberg has some thoughts on this especially what he says about musing (random musings, get it?)

Time Well Wasted
Why you need downtime and how to spend it
Most pastors don't waste enough time.
At least that's my conviction. But wasting time well is an acquired skill, because there is good wasting and there is bad wasting.
