Time is the topic lately

I'm reading through spiritual disciplines for obvious reasons and I've told some that Christian reading isn't all that awesome because I think most of us know what the main point is after about one page.  But then some little things strike me.  Like just now, time is fleeting, its like the sand of an hourglass.  There is no making up time and really, you don't know when its going to run out, but you know that it will.  How can I be so far behind in year of the bible when I might not live long enough to finish it.  Goodness I should be ahead in that light.

I don't think anyone feels like they have too much time.  Its' the scarcity of something that makes it valuable, like diamonds and gold (stolen from spiritual disciplines).  Likewise, how do we use what is valuable?  by throwing it away? by using it on something unimportant?  I mean you could use gold to buy candy but would you?  You could use a diamond as a hammer (nerd note: because of its carbon structure its very strong) but would you?  I think most people take whats precious and use it for whats important.  Thats why diamonds are used in rings for wives.  And gold is..... hmmm i guess both go to girls..... but i guess thats fine.... girls are important haha.

"Jonathan Edwards suggested living each day as if at the end of that day you had to give an account to God of how you used your time."

I know a lot of you have seen this but it better conveys how precious time is than me saying time is precious...... and it is ^_^   By the way I don't really like alter calls or emotional guilt messages as a substitute for genuine bible study and intake of His word.  Yet testimonies are definitely not devoid of value.
