Time

It's been a bit interesting as of late of the amount of stuff that I have read that has a addressed our understanding and use of time. Now I will admit some of these readings are a bit heavy and even lofty ideas meant to appease the deep thinkers of the world that miss out on the present time as they try to understand the times. However, their thoughts are useful especially in learning that we are created, molded, and compared to as time (limited and too often finite). So what is all this leading to. What are we doing with our time?
We have such grand ideas and goals each day on what we are going to do with our time but often they fall short. Side tracked by a new focus or conquered by the need to rest are time is redistributed. At the same time, there are days and weeks that dedicate our time to certain activities.
What's my point..
Well, even with the surface word like dedicate it seems to be that we become what we do with our time. For example it is not rare to hear folks say "I dedicate my life to my wife (or husband)" or "I dedicate my life to Christ." Thus, if in a given day (or week) we dedicate ourselves to time... what then are we becoming.
I am taking time to spend with my computer or for many recently they have set aside to not miss their TV shows. Esther 4 says something interesting "For Such a TIME is this..." Ecclesiastes jumps around to suggest there are various forms of time (ex: a time to laugh a time to cry... a time to mourn a time to rest).

hmmm... too deep... nothing new here... I'll keeping moving on
