Life is too short to be countin’ worms
Acouple of decades ago, actor Tom Hanks starred in the film Cast Away as a FedEx executive. In the opening scene he is supervising employees. He points to a clock in the front of the work room as he says with intensity, “Time rules over us without mercy. It’s like a fire; it can either destroy us or keep us warm. That’s why every FedEx office has a clock; because we live or we die by the clock. We never turn our back on it. And we never, ever allow ourselves the sin of losing track of time!” If we do not seek after and live within the presence and power of God every moment, every day— if we do not live by the clock, then we die by the clock, and commit the sin of losing track of time. And losing track of time, we lose out on becoming and doing that which could bring fulfi llment to our lives and the lives of those with whom we live and move.
