Time is very interesting. It is all amazingly valuable; but some time is worth more than others.... to God. We all have our "best time" the part of the day where we are awake, refreshed, ready to go, peaceful and happy. For me, this prime time is probably smack dab in the middle, about 1 or 2. Who gets this time?
I've heard of so many people who got up at the wee hours of the morning to make sure to get in their prayer because it is so drastically important (I respect their discipline); but why not get up at the wee hours of the morning to start work, so you can give the best time in the middle of the day to God? Oops that would be inneficient.
Smack dab in the middle of the day is when all the business happens. We have our meetings, our late lunches, we can't sacrifice that time!
Maybe it's time to stop orienting our prayer life (aka our daily communion with our creator and savior) around the culture's schedule, and start orienting our schedule around our daily communion with our King Jesus.
Yea I know this might hurt business (the economic type); but since when has efficient economic policy been a priority of Jesus?
Instructions Before Reading
I stand by the right to publish incomplete snippets. The point of this blog is to share life. If there is a unity in my life, it will become apparent what that unity is. No post is a complete thought, theology, worldview, or poem within itself, it must be taken within the context of the entirety of this blog, considerations of who I am in public as well as who I am in extreme situations like when I am forced to wake up at 4:30 in the morning to help my wife jump start her car in 20 degree weather.
I recognize my right as a flawed human being to do the following: 1) be wrong, 2) change my mind, 3) be inconsistent, 4) have improper grammar and spelling conventions. You are just as flawed, wrong, capricious, and prone to theological alteration as I am... so get over it.
