a) an extra hour at work b) an extra hour with your children
a) an hour playing video games b) an hour talking with your spouse
a) an hour watching TV b) an hour connecting with a friend
a) an hour surfing the web b) an hour talking with neighbors
a) an hour reading a book b) an hour comforting an ailing relative

What does this look like to you?
How are we making the right investment?
How are we failing?
And how is God calling us to deeper relationships - the true riches?
