I would love an answer to my question i am about to ask ,but if not i will just wait till God wants me to know. Why does mankind have to suffer? i was cursed with a horrible past when i was 7 by a human being and i wish to know why i must suffer with all that has gone wrong when i was that young. If God cared about me then why did he allow that to happen? I shake as i write this but only because i am afraid to know what that truth is. I know you do not know me but please pray for me. Thank you, Jasmine Dear Alex and Brett,

God really used it to reminded me how mindless surfing can often take me to dangerous places, and even when it doesn't I'm still building a time-wasting habit. Thanks for this video!

Seriously, this is a major issue in my life. When I should be doing school, I often find myself wandering around the internet, and often times I'm looking at "good stuff." Here's an idea--and you guys can talk to me about this--but maybe if I set aside a small block of time where I can be surfing the web each day and keep myself strictly to that time it will go a bit better. Pray for me in this! :) Wow how convicting. Omigosh someone just tweeted me…interesting link….brb. JUST KIDDING! Seriously, this is a major issue in my life.

Encouraging! I don't have facebook or any of that stuff YET, but my parents are considering it, plus we still have dial up which obviously inhibits alot...:) But I see that all the time and definitely am prone to the same thing. Praise the Lord for those who speak on such current issues so honestly and humorously! Bless you Harris family, whom God has so blessed with the gift of discernment and communication! Sophie Wow!

That was so true of the world we live in today. I do this all the time with facebook. I tell myself that I am just going to check my mail and then I will make click after click and boom I will have been there for thirty minutes to a hour. But what if we take the time we spend on facebook and twitter and spend that time on here. Getting ideas on how to live your life better and make an impact in your community. WOW!

I spend at least 2 hours a day on websites like this one, reading edifying articles, going from one interesting looking link to another, when I should really be studying. (imagine how much time I would waste on the net if I was on Facebook??) And, I have known for a while that it was a bad habit, but it didn't really hit me till now that it was an area of sin (such an ugly word, no) in my life, like my "inability" to keep my room tidy. What you and I would call "a bad habit" is usually sin. Yes, that definitely sounds like me.

I watch too much TV. Not a lot of different shows; I'm pretty good about staying away from all the junk on. But I watch a lot of old movies on TCM, sports, and Fox News. And then a few shows that I do like that are clean. So yeah...TV is a problem for me. Thanks for that post! Great reminder! Awesome. I watch too much TV.

I definitely need to work on self-control in the area of wasting time, especially online. I make lots of excuses, and some of them are even good, but the important thing is to focus on God, instead of on *fill in the blank*... It's a little ironic, really, because I've been on the web looking for different ways to make a difference as a teen in my own hometown, which (of course) reminded me of your site. So, I've been doing good things-looking at Loose Change to Loosen Change, and a program in my town to help homeless teenagers, and Compassion International... and not getting my homework done, and not concentrating on the things I am supposed to be getting done during this time. So, I guess the moral for me goes back to something that has been my theme for a while - the tyranny of the urgent. This is a concept my father taught me (like a gargantuan number of the important concepts in my life) that basically means "Do the important things first, and then the 'urgent' things." So many things are urgent, and I have to get them done RIGHT NOW... at the cost of getting the important things done. And now that I've rambled for a while, semi-hypocritcally, I'll get off the computer and go do the work that I'm supposed to be doing. Thanks again for getting me back on track. :) Man, this is so true. I definitely need to work on self-control in the area of wasting time, especially online.
