Time is ticking!

I have a moral dilemma each Monday night. Do I watch Heroes or 24 at 9pm? Man, that's a tough choice. I find both shows pretty entertaining and fascinating on many levels. I think the concept of 24 (a whole season being 24 hours... every episode 1 hour in "show" time) is amazingly simple and creative. A lot happens to Jack Bauer in the span of 1 episode - 1 hour or 60 minutes or 3600 seconds. Unfortunately, it's not close to reality. Heroes is in it's own league of storytelling. My favorite character is Hiro Nakamora, the one who can control time with a simple eye blink.

Anyways... the whole subject of time is in my face a lot lately. It seems that I can't keep up with time - the days and weeks just fly by! In our planning for the new service at church (Overflow), it seems like this last year has been a few weeks. My children are growing extremely fast and that makes me sad. Come June, Erin and I will have been at FBC Kings Mountain 10 years. What happened to my teen years? what am I saying? what happened to my 20s? lol.

I'll get to the point. Psalm 39:5 declares, "You have made my days a mere handbreath; the span of years is as nothing before You. Each man's life is but a breath." My life is a breath. Take a breath... didn't take long did it? Talk about perspective. It's starting to sink in. Sometimes I wish we could freeze time like Hiro Nakamora... or even live life like a DVR. Pausing when we want to, skipping the commericials, etc. To God, time is nothing. To God, the time of my life is much less than nothing. Wow. I need to make the most of every moment (and breath): my witness, pursuing God's will and heart, and more! 

In the spirit of 24... tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock...
