Confessions...

As I sit here at a desk piled high with papers, a calendar filled with to do lists, and a watch ticking away…I have to confess something.

I get an “F” in time management. No…wait…I think time management is baloney. It is a leadership principle the Devil made up to make us feel guilty about ourselves. Ok…perhaps I’m a little harsh, but track with me here. There always seems like there are too many things to do and too little time to do them. And just when I think I have a grasp on my schedule, something comes up and throws it all out of whack. I hate it that I have to choose one thing over another. Spending my time on this means not spending it on that. It’s a never ending process!

Its times like this that I’m reminded I’m created for eternity. I truly am an alien to this world (1Pt 2:11). This temporal world was not meant for me. Everyday we say things like, “time sure flew by” or “I need more time” or “there’s not enough hours in the day.” Time is a constraint to us because we were created for eternity – for all time. Breaking time into 24 hour increments is foreign to who and what we were created to be.

So next time you miss a deadline tell your boss, “It’s not my fault, I was created for eternity!”
