Telling Time

My computer cannot tell time and it’s frustrating me to no end. OK, maybe computers aren’t supposed to tell time but they should be able to keep it, right? I have always been a little considerably completely obsessive compulsive when it comes to time. I expect all the clocks and watches in the house to have the same time – the correct time. Modern technology makes this increasingly difficult with a clock on every electronic device. In recent months, my obsessive compulsive tendency has left me frustrated. My watch battery died and we kept forgetting to get it replaced. We bought a new to us car and the clock was set on central time. So we tried to change it. Now, instead of being an hour behind, it’s just way off. AND, my computer clock can’t keep time. I set it and a few days later it’s fast or slow by 5 to 10 minutes. This really throws my day off, not to mention my usual easy going attitude. I’m depending on the computer clock, rush to the car with the incorrect time and have no watch because I constantly forget to buy a battery. There is help for my timepieces even if there’s not for my obsessive compulsiveness. John bought my watch battery today. The car manual does have instructions for setting the clock, if I can find time to read it. Now if I could only figure out how to make my computer keep time.

Love and Time

Blogger Friend School Assignment

Your assignment this week is to visit 3 Classmates' blogs and tell them that you are praying for them this week! This is a really simple assignment, but important to share with one another that you want to encourage them. When you are finished with visiting your classmates and leaving them a comment, post on your blog 3 ways that you can show love to a neighbor or friend!

“And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter. And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me. And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.” Genesis 29:18-20

Love and Time are synonymous. If we love someone, we will spend time with them or doing things for them. It is as simple as that. The ways we can spend time or the things that we could do are innumerable. It could be as simple as sending them a personal email, not just something that has been forwarded around the world and back again. We can be the listening ear or the shoulder to cry on when life gets hard; and it frequently does. We can call up a friend and say, “Hey, let’s get together for lunch.” Then actually do it. Life is busy. Life is hard. Let’s take time today with those we love.
