no Utopia, then how much more?

I shared my calculations (http://project05952381.blogspot.com/2010/10/saturday-night.html) with a minister who then asked me, "how much can and should we spend?" Just when I had a number for the least amount of time we Christians really live our faith (0.5952381%), now I'm thinking about her question.

Ideally one should spend (dedicate, give, serve) 100% of the time to God, but we don't live in Utopia. We should dedicate as much time as possible to God -- serving God in all possible ways. Maybe we could track down how much time we truly (being honest without ourselves) spend in our faith from day to day or week to week. This way we could try to set personal records for ourselves and try to achieve that 100% Utopian goal.
