How Your Time Is "Stolen"

The very last line of the article, Elder Ballard is quoting as saying this:

“For the devil is stealing time, the time we would spend to wonder at spiritual things. Instead, we get so caught up in the things that ‘seem’ to matter, when all of us need to slow down and find a time to contemplate.”

Whoa. That is worth talking about. I have always considered my time-wasting to be merely a matter of my lack of self-discipline. The idea of the Devil “stealing time” is a different take on the issue. It makes it a little scarier, and a little more urgent, but also makes it more understandable.
