The TIME of Your Life!

Take 10 seconds and count out on your desk or chair with your hand...1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. That's TIME. 10 seconds has passed, there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day... and on it goes. You get the idea.

As I've moved through my daily business days lately, it seems I've been engaged in correspondence with apologies from people who have been slow responding. They are traveling and generally just busy. I get that, and it's nothing new really. Recently however, I've noticed it more. I respond in part that I understand... TIME moves quickly.

This concept of TIME has had me thinking for a while about our crazy busy lives and the importance of managing time. As an ADD type I don't do well managing time. And as coincidence would have it, my pastor has recently taught a five part series on TIME. I credit Pastor Marty Walker for some of the concepts that I will share here that apply to our personal and professional lives.

It could easily be argued that TIME is our most valuable asset. We make TIME for important events. We take the TIME to be an asset to our clients. When we want to do something beneficial for our family or in our community we make TIME for it. Most of us need more TIME.
