Tempus Fugit


Time really is a funny thing. I mean funny in the odd way, of course, not HAHA funny. When I was young time dribbled by. Christmas break never got here and then it would last forever. Summers were endless opportunities to play GI Joe and ride bikes.


Alas, now time is my most precious commodity. There just isn't enough of it.There is hardly enough time for the "big" things that are important in life, like family, much less time for the little things.
I started really thinking about time the last couple of weeks. My oldest son just turned four. My youngest is about to be one. It seems that once you have kids, time literally flies. They get big so quick and constantly amaze me. The saying is true, "babies don't keep."


I just hope to "make the best use of my time". Eph 5:16 I only have the amount that God has given me. I hate to waste any of it.


Speaking of wastes of time. Here is my list of top time wasters:

1. TV (really, come on, what did you think I was going to say?)

2. Being Angry or Upset

3. Disorganization

4. Chit Chat (Yes, the weather is nice. No I don't care about who did what on Grey's Anatomy.)

5. Gossip.
