Am I the only one who thinks that time moves too quickly a great deal of the time? Have you sat at your computer to start a task, deciding that you'll check Facebook first and discover that an hour has passed and you haven't even begun your task?
When I know I must get some writing done, I don't log on to Facebook, twitter, or even my email. That way I'm able to focus on the task at hand.
They say that "time flies when you're having fun." Time also flies when you're "wasting" it. Time. Time is the topic of so many of us that sometimes we become preoccupied with time and forget what is happening while time is passing.
Several weeks ago I sat in my home chatting with a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses. Our discussion of course began with the 'last days." As if zombie movies aren't enough, we had to begin our bible reflection on what will be left of the earth at the end time. I asked a question after politely listening for a few minutes, "Why the constant focus on the end time? the final judgment of God?" The answer? "We speak on the end times because now is so bad. Humans are in a destructive state of mind. We must talk about how important it is to get to the end as one of the chosen." My challenge to that answer was to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ NOW. People need help now. The gospel is not just for end times, it's for now, for time is flying.
