time

I have been thinking about this for some TIME but, i don't have enough to really think about it, so I'm writing it out maybe some others, or like the two people who look at this say something or what they have noticed...

Time has become something that is so important to us, that we have schedules for years in advance of things already planned out and ready to go. Everything in America is so timed base that if you are late to some things it almost means your dysfunctional...like what were you really doing something else more important to be late at my thing...

is time valuable?
i think that yes it is, but maybe not in the way i normally think about it...i think we have all heard the saying time is money, but that is because if were not working were not making money...so waisting time is actually costing us money, which is another topic about how were addicted to money...but time is something were addicted to as well.

i know that there are some places that don't really keep track as much as Americans do, and that things are more like when i get there i get there sort of mindset, but then there are others who its more, if something comes up i need to take care of it.

why are we so addicted to time?

just the other day i was heading early in the morning from the church to my girlfriends house, i saw a kid that i just said hi to about 2 hours ago and asked how he was doing walking on the street towards his house. it was pretty cold out, and he was in shorts and a t-shirt. i looked at him walking, he was a little ways away, and i thought to myself should i go up there and pick him up or see if he wants a ride to his house? i sat there for almost a min. thinking to myself. but after that min i decided to somewhat con myself out of going, saying he is probably close to home, or he will say no thanks to my ride, not see that it was someone who he knew...so i drove off not giving him a ride at all...i honestly could have taken 1 min picked him up dropped him off and been on my way, but i didn't.

i am reading this new book and its really getting go me and it was talking about how everyone is our neighbor and how we should treat everyone, and looking at my past Ive been a freaking bad neighbor for sure....

so maybe the next time your hurrying off to go get food, or towards something that you cant miss or be late for, to just take a sec 1 SEC and see what really needs to be addressed at that time....maybe God just needs America and the world to slow down to really see him....or maybe at least me.
