       I thought a lot last year in 2019 about how short life is, and how important the normal, everyday things of life are for us. I kind of took an inventory and actually tried to come up with a percentage (as regards my own everyday living) of how much time I spend doing normal, everyday activities versus participating in special events. So, what I did was I classified my career-based work in television, my teaching for the radio show, house chores, Bible studies, church-going, and everything else routine into the normal activities. Then, I classified vacations, going out to dinner, purchasing new things and opening them, parties, and the like as special activities. What I concluded was I spend about 93 to 95 percent of my life going through the motions, doing normal, everyday routines. Then I spend about 5 to 7 percent of my life doing special things.
