"Clocky"

Read:
Psalm 39

Lord, make me to know my end, and what is the measure of my days, that I may know how frail I am. —Psalm 39:4

Bible In One Year: Judges 11-12; Luke 6:1-26

A graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology may have helped solve the problem of oversleeping. For an industrial design course, 26-year-old Gauri Nanda created "Clocky," a foam-covered alarm clock with wheels, which runs away and hides before you can hit the snooze bar. A circuit board instructs small motors to move randomly so that the clock ends up in a new place every day. Before you can turn it off, you have to get out of bed and find it.

We say that "time flies," but a wise person observed that "time stays and we fly." Whether we rise early or stay in bed, we are being carried along by the mysterious force called time.

Each day, a fresh awareness of life's brevity can encourage our trust in God. The psalmist wrote: "Lord, make me to know my end, and what is the measure of my days, that I may know how frail I am. . . . Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor. . . . And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You" (Psalm 39:4-5,7).

What do we need to accomplish today? Perhaps we need to begin an essential task, address a lingering issue, or work to restore a valuable relationship before we fall asleep and need to be awakened again.

Life is short, but our God is strong. —David McCasland

If time could be our servant,
Our days would be sublime;
But if we fail to master it,
We're only "serving time." —Hess

Don't spend time; invest it.

Good morning, All!!

Good morning, Bahbah...thanks for the ping and your service as Head Snowflake!...TGIF!

FRIDAY REFRESHMENT

[Republican Red]

Morning all.

That Jill Carroll story is just getting weirder and weirder. Thank goodness that she is alive and well but it just seems bizarre that:

1. She is free at all
2. She would be praising her captors
3. She forgets that her translator was brutally murdered
4. She takes to wearing the tradition Muslim attire
5. She claims no threats contrary to the taped messages

The whole situation is just not adding up. I hope I am wrong and that it is just a case of Stockholm Syndrome but it is starting to look too much that she was in on it all.

[Petronski]

I sure wish you could take on this anti-Catholic vitriol coming from Michael (Savage) Weiner.

[Unrepentant VN Vet]

On board, but still have to lurk for a bit.

[conservativecorner]

Tony, there's nothing quite like assimilating.

[conservativecorner]

Teddy Roosevelt's words on immigration:

In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...
...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.
