Today I want to write about time.  One reason is because all this week I have felt like I don't have enough of it.  Do you ever feel like that?  When we feel that way, it usually causes us to get into a hurry.  We all know what that is like.

 

There's an old story about a man who was riding his bike one day and grew tired some distance away from home.  A friend in a Corvette came by and stopped to visit with him.  The man asked his friend if he would give him a pull.  The friend agreed to do so, and the man tied a rope to his bike and to the back bumper of the car.  He told his friend in the Corvette, "If I want you to go faster, I will ring the bell on my bike one time.  If I want you to slow down, I will ring the bell repeatedly."  With that understanding, they began their journey down the street.  After a little while, the guy driving the Corvette forgot that he was towing his friend on the bike and began driving at a high rate of speed down the road.  As he rounded the curve, he met a policeman.  The policeman turned his car around and began to pursue the pair.  As he did so, he called in on his radio to headquarters and said, "I am beginning a pursuit.  You won't believe this, but I just met a guy in a Corvette driving 80 miles per hour, and there was a guy on a bike behind him ringing a bell trying to pass him."

 

Well, sometimes we get into a hurry, don't we?   We find ourselves going faster than perhaps we should.  In fact, it is not uncommon in such a state to forget where we are going and why.  We lose sight of what truly matters.  Often we find ourselves with no sense of priorities. If so, then we may need to pull over and "be still" for awhile and think about it.  We may need to come to the sober realization that we cannot do everything, so we had better do the things that matter most in our lives.  The Bible calls that "Redeeming the time" (Eph. 5:16 KJV).   So use your time wisely for it is a precious commodity! 

 

Oh, by the way (and I really hate to mention it now), but tonight you lose an hour-so remember to set your clock forward one hour!  Sorry...
