28 C's: What Time is it?

What time would it be if you didn't know what time it was?
Read that again, slowly, chew on it. What time would it be? Bedtime, party time, hammer time, one time, sometime, summer time, supper time?

Take away seconds, minutes, hours, days, years. When would it be? What time would it be? How do you know that when you got up this morning that you only slept overnight. Maybe you slept for three days. Do you know? How do you know?

Time is invisible and hard to define, yet most of us spend a lot of time wishing for more time and complaining about the lack of time. If only . . . I had more time. That won't happen next time. If I could . . . just one more time.

Time, really, is all that we do have. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 "There is a . . . time for everything." The season of Advent begins soon. It is a time to reflect and put our lives into perspective. It is a time to long for light; the dwindling light of winter days and the light that we celebrate on Christmas day. Make the time, or take the time, to do what you need to do. If you don't have time, then what do you have?

Obviously, I've had too much time to think about time. Even so, I can't define it, or grasp it. Perhaps, together, we can fix the world! Well, OK, maybe just understand our world a little better. Peace.
