Ben, I always love to hear you work out answers for yourself.  You start off asking advice and then as you continue explaining what you mean, you start to answer your initial question all on your own.  You are a very smart young man and I am so glad that I have been able to watch you grow in your Faith and understanding these past years.  You are correct about straightening out priorities.  We ALL have problems with that from time to time.  It is just God's way of allowing satan to tempt us with things that aren't as important.  We just have to be diligent in our Faith and have to keep that personal time with God a constant thing in our life.  When we find ourselves wrapped up in our everyday lives, we begin to go about each day as if it is just a carbon copy of the last and pretty soon, we aren't living our lives, we are just gliding through them.  That is when we really need to take a step back and re-evaluate what we are doing and how we are ranking things that should be important to us.  I have to do that in my life too.  The thing is though, when you surround yourself with Christian friends, they will help to keep you on track and to also make you stronger.  Well, it is now time for me to go to sleep.  Have a great day tomorrow and make that time to set your priorities straight. 

Love you man,

Brian
