The Cracked Acorn: Time

“Just a few more days to be filled with praise and to sing the old, old story” – Psalm 39:4,5

Have you ever heard someone say, maybe in a restaurant, “Look over there near the window, that person sits there and stares outside, Wow! That one must have ‘time on their hands.'”

On the radio, the news person, (notice, how I left the he or the she out, Ha!; if it was French…I could have used a word that was either male or female; time has caused us to leave that behind…how about God; is HE/She or the ‘I AM’ ?, must have cause heartburn to the translators (You see, that may wherein lies the reason there are many, many forms …Bible translations on the market.)

Is there a church named THE I AM, or CHILDREN OF THE BLOOD, or FOLLOWERS OF THE LAMB? I don’t know, would have to surf the INTERNET for help,,,if such a church is out there. Maybe, I should learn texting and find out if anyone can answer this question.

Sorry, I drifted from the straight and narrow. “Yes! The old thing that will level the playing field for all of us, politicians, quadruple killers, planned or other wise, Time will get everyone, no one has a GO TO Jail (TIME) card to let them escape from the scythe carrier to let us “Live, forever!”…on the wonderful God created Earth. Knowing Olfry will not help, either.

When I was a first-order stargazer there was a need to note certain heavenly stars for position and have an accurate time-keeper. We had to know TIME to a fraction of a second, when quartz clocks arrived… it reported TIME to the milliseconds and soon there after another replacement for our faithful chronometer now to the microsecond. News the other day noted that it was possible to capture TIME to the billionths of a microseconds… now it was it was time, to report , we can say, “TIME is at last, close enough for Government work!” TIME can be sold in a bottle, at all the stores, but be careful when you uncork , there may be lots of side effects.

TIME has been good to me; I have never regretted when I went down the church aisle and said, “I now believe in the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; baptize me.”

Years ago, I heard a preacher mention that ‘time’ exists only for us mortals, eh, ? Many moments when I was idle and looked at this wonderful country we have been blessed with and should appreciate more, that if we took away time, what would be left, we could not exist without this ingredient in our lives, but we sing hymns about heaven and how wonderful it will be there, eventually for all of us…but there is no time there…what will we do? there? Has time disappeared and been replaced by eternity. The same preacher went on to allay any fears that I might have about ‘time gone’ in heaven, that we will be praising God and will not even notice that TIME is gone, forever.

It is About Time: (from Readers Digest)
A few weeks? after the death of my father-in-law, I found my seven-year-old son crying in bed. His grandmother had died the previous year, and he was taking it all very hard. “You know, Kyle,” I said, “When we die, we’ll get to see Grandma and Grandpa again in heaven.” With tears spilling down his face, Kyle cried, “That’s easy for you to say. You don’t have that long!”
