Time flies and weeks just seem to fall by the wayside faster and faster. We all have time on our hands at some point and we all find that time gets away from us at other times. It takes a lot of work to manage your time because it seems to be at odds with freedom and creativity in some ways.
Perhaps we might talk about time and how we use it.
1. Early to bed, early to rise? Do you have usual times to go to bed and get up in the morning? How do they work out for you?
I am a night owl. I have more energy and attention in the later hours of the day and night than the morning.
2. Ecclesiastes says "To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven."
How much time is devoted to work, housework, hobbies? What about religious pursuits like study, prayer, services? In other words, how is your time apportioned?
I do what I have to do to keep my house tidy. I am not a neat freak anymore. I am blessed to have a hubby that now does most of the cooking. We both clean. I love to read my Bible and work on my Bible journaling. I enjoy my craft group. I spend time preparing for my Bible journaling group. If I have fussy cutting, I will do it while I watch tv with my hubby, or while he is driving. I pray in the morning and evening and during the day as I feel led to or get a prayer request. I get to most Sunday church services and watch online when I can't. Same with Tuesday night Bible study too. Tonight, we start the book of Daniel. I was supposed to go to Senior fellowship on Wednesday, but our grandson is sick, and I will go stay with him. Good to be able to adjust when needed.
A Time for Everything Ecclesiastes 3:
1. There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
3. Do you think you manage your time well or would you like to improve? How would you improve?
I am not good at managing my time. My ADD always gets in the way. Sometimes I don't go to bed when I need to and it can throw me off. I was up late finishing my things for my class. That is why I am just getting this page done now. But I am doing better. If I don't feel I can relate to a meme, I won't do it. I used to try to blog every day and I would be up late. So, if I have to choose a study over a meme, that is what I have to do. Sometimes I just need to rest. I am a work in progress!
4. Do you think time travel is possible? Why or why not?
I doubt it. My time travel will happen when I get to heaven and live for eternity.
