How Many Clocks Are There at Your House?


There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.   -Ecclesiastes 3:1

How many clocks are there at your house? I did a quick count at our house this morning and there are at least 19 clocks that have to be re-set this Saturday night at our house.  We have alarm clocks, wristwatches, microwave clocks, desktop clocks, wall clocks, and bathroom clocks.  We even have a clock on our coffee maker.  And I didn’t count the clocks on the desktop computer, my laptop, and our cell phones because they automatically re-set when the time changes.

I guess you could say that we love being aware of the time.  Daylight Savings Time allows us to maximize the daylight hours during the spring and summer.  My goal is to maximize all of my time…whether winter or summer, rain or shine…and live every moment for the Lord. 

Paul offers this reminder: See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil (Ephesians 5:15-16 NKJV).

Daylight Savings Time begins this Sunday, March 13.  Whether you choose to adjust your clocks at bedtime on Saturday evening, or you actually make the official adjustment at on Sunday morning, don’t forget that this weekend marks the beginning of DST. 

During services this Sunday yawning is welcome and momentary dozing will be easily forgiven.  Extra bold coffee will be available in the atrium beginning at 7:45. Spring forward with us this Sunday as we gather to focus on Spiritual Gifts in worship and Bible study.
