60 minutes

Yesterday we turned our clocks back one hour. This has to be a procrastinator's dream -- to be able to turn the clock back and get an extra 60 minutes to do what should have been done an hour ago. Of course we pay it back in spring.

What is one hour of time worth and how significant is it?

In one hour one can go 100 Kilometers down the highway, which would in most cases reach the next city. One hour could be spent with a friend over coffee. In one hour the financial picture of the world could change dramatically. In one hour you could watch a boxinga match or play a game of Scrabble. (the two are not related). In one hour you could read the newspaper or play nine holes of golf. Some would call that wasted time. They would rather spend 12 hours in a boat, dangling a fishing line. That has never been my game. I'm convinced that time has no value of its own -- we give it value by how we spend it. We spend it in different ways.

Time is the facilitator for our actions. Time is like a silent messenger that never stops. It passes by like a shadow.
Here is my thought for today.

Only hours before Jesus was crucified He suffered in prayer, as a precurser to the Cross. His disciples, however, had fallen asleep. He asked them a very poignant question. Matthew 26:40, "Could you not watch with me ONE HOUR?"
