Time?

I am sorry for taking so long on getting back to this, but finals were tough and I was really busy, anyways here I am once again sitting on my lazy bottom and writing a post that is (once again) totally out there.
    So time. It sounds simple right? but if you really think about it, this four lettered word really covers a lot. I wont go into all the definitions because already I think I have bitten off more than I can chew.

  First of all, wouldn't it be great if we could simply escape time. I mean picture a room that is completely outside of time. You walk into the room, do three hours worth of homework, and walk back out of the room not even a second after you walked in. Not only this, but you could also go to bed for ten hours in a single second. How cool would that be! We would have so much free time to hang out with friends, because the only thing that would get in the way would be work. I mean what if we had whole schools in these rooms, so that you would really only be at school for a fraction of a second and yet get all of the work done. Or if you are me, you could just go into the room and write a book for three days (I feel a new plot coming along!). One other funny thing about this, is that with these rooms, age would be a variable. One could easily spend nine months in such a room in order to change his birthday, his age, and even if some one really wanted to they could mature faster than their friends (That is just an idea, I mean it is definitely not something I would do, lol). We could also go the opposite way. what if someone went into a room for a second and came back out and already a year had passed. (This is kind of what I use in my newest book, "Soucar and the Sphere")

   You might not have realized it but if you think about it, time is the most important thing in the world. The average person in the world has about 70 years to live (on earth).  Now this is a very limited time if you believe it to be all you have, and because of this people try so hard to have the best time they can during those 70 years. Not only is time limited, but time is the only thing that you can never take back (well at least as far as I can think of), do you get what I mean? Think about it, the time you spent reading the beginning of this Blogg you will never be able to take back. That moment is over. So the real question becomes were you satisfied with it? and this applies to every single moment.
   Say you have a grudge against some one, so instead of having a good time you force yourself not to just because of that grudge. Well 2/3 months later when the problem is finally resolved, are you satisfied with the time you waisted? This doesn't just apply to friendships. What about the computer? Xbox? Playstation?  or Wii? after spending hours on one of these, think about it, what have you really accomplished? After your 70 years are up, will you be glad that you did that?
   For me I have been working very hard on spending my time well. Even though it is summer I try to go to bed at 12 and wake up at 8. On top of this, I try not to play video games unless I do it with a friend, because alone, well it is a total waist of time. When ever I do something I always think about how I would look back at the moment, and weather or not I would be glad that I did that. Luckily for me when I write my books I feel accomplished, so whenever I have free time I don't just waist time, I start working on my book.
   However, even with my strategy, once I die it is all gone. I can't enjoy my books once I die. I can't exactly be proud of them. So it all boils down to two different ways to spend your time wisely. One, (if your a Christian) you can read the bible or pray in order to grow in your relationship with God, or do something to progress his plan in your life. Two, you can try to leave a positive effect on your community. But besides these two things everything else is worthless. Don't get me wrong, I think hanging out with friends is great and all, but this just shows you where we should put our priorities.

   As I rap up this whole topic about time, I would like to encourage you to not take the time you have for granted. As you see people walking about in your community, picture a timer ticking down above their head. For some the numbers will be higher than others, but all together they are drawing closer and closer to that dreaded 00:00.  This will help you to remember that time is limited, and for many could be running out. So live each moment with your family and friends as if it is your last, because, like the bible says, no one is guaranteed the next day.
