Tonight I wanted to get out a post before the day is done, and as my wife and I sit in bed with out new son, Boaz, and with my stop watch running, I wanted to publish a few thoughts on the almighty clock!
I've preached about time, harped on time, thought about time, of course: used time, wished I had more time, and regretted the way I've squandered time, but tonight, I feel, I'm redeeming the time! (literally, buying it back)
I plan to write the next several posts about my thoughts on “father time" and I hope some of the time management enthusiasts will enjoy it, although my blog definitely does not have wide circulation yet (but I'll catchup to my wife eventually! Ha!) and I plan on striking a chord between time management and “priority management" for sure!
Tonight, I just wanted to time myself, and offer this thought on elevating the level of communication: I said in my essay (see the tab: “more…") on elevating level 1 of mass email to level two of a reply of thanks that: “it takes two seconds" and while it may seem that way when you send back the one or two word replies like I have done to all the “congrats" messages on Boaz's birth, it does actually take longer. But it is time spent on things that have to be done! For example: much of the time I spend on this blog post was spent in the shower as I thought through what I would write, and much of the time spent writing was spent sitting next go Maria while she is nursing Boaz, hoping he'll sleep as well in the night as he has during the day.
So I'll end this, knowing most people will see it and think they don't have enough time to read it, but eventually, they will, and hopefully they will think the few minutes they spent reading it was worth it, because for sure, I believe the 20 minutes I've spent composing this have been worth it to me!
Peace,
Adam (Eph 5:16)
