living in excess

What's wrong with watching TV or playing video games all the time? Nothing.....as long as you're careful about living in excess all the time. The book of Ecclesiastes has a great verse that says it's good to hold on to one thing while you're holding on to another. (Eccl. 7:16-18) Do you know what that means? It means "balance". Have you ever balanced yourself by holding on to something? It's easier to keep from falling either way by holding on, like a tightrope walker with that big long pole. Going to extremes sometimes is just life...but living in excess all the time, whether it's TV, video games or any kind of HABIT, is letting something control your life. What controls your life?
