Kingdom Business
On close scrutiny of just about anyone else’s life I can see at least a partial and often times a blatant disregard of diligence and time management. It is overwhelming and therefore I see the need to consistently be guarding my emotional backlash from turning into that little child who sees another misbehaving and shouts at the top of his lungs: “He’s not doing kingdom business!”
Now of course when I am sitting down and rationally thinking about this reaction (as I am now) it is easy to see that obviously different people have differing priorities in close congruence with their differing personalities. To some a relaxing walk alone is just what they need to unwind and boost their spirits to tackle another tough task. Others enjoy highly physical activity such as Basketball, while others pursue intellectual outs.
Can I judge these before me as unwise, or unfruitful? Or just simple-minded busybodies? Surely not. They are innocently attending to what matters to them most and hopefully what matters to them most is kingdom business. And that final decision is ultimately up to them.

As long as you turn that discerning scope back on yourself from time to time... I think you're fine :)
