Time


Random thoughts on a cool, cloudy spring morning:


“Timing is the world set to God’s pace.” Thought Jacob. (p. 44 Jacob’s Ladder  Noah benShae)


Intriguing!


There are many people who might be questioning God’s pace in the world today.


However I am wondering if this time, I’ll say of unnatural living, might be a time to regroup — to rethink — how we do many things in our well ordered life.


Now truly I say that now, but when I looked into the mirror this morning and saw my unruly short hair; I would question God’s timing completely.

My haircut is my vanity point.  
Always has been.   
                   Probably always will be.



Yet at the same time, I do have to ask myself what it is that I am learning in this odd time in my life?


What is it that makes this time in history, in some ways,  comforting; and maybe even offers a sense of security? 


Yet even that thought challenges my thinking.


“Timing is the world set to God’s pace.” Thought Jacob.



Then I think about how we are all being force, actually, to do things — to do time — differently.


Instead of just going about what comes naturally.  We are faced with using our imaginations.  Moving outside our nicely composed — free from agitation — boxes.


We are so use to moving about the day with the ease of familiarity.  Not much thinking is required to do most anything we do.

Same-old-same-old-same-old things.


It is not a boring time in this year of the virus.  

It is to be sure an intriguing time.  


What are your random thoughts?
