I,
like all in my community, set my clock ahead by one hour. That
doesn’t sound like a big deal. It is only one hour. But it does
cause me some minor concerns. For example, I am wanting to stay up a
little earlier than usual and I am not ready for meals which seem a
little early. This time change shows again that I am so much a
creature of habit that even a time change is easily noticed by me.
It
really is the little things in life that make a difference. That is
why I practice some spiritual disciplines. Reading a devotional
everyday is such a part of my life that to skip it does have an
impact on me. Praying each day as I take my early morning walk is so
such a ritual that when I have to miss it my day seems off. More
than once I have had to look at my daily routines and see if they are
helping or hurting my life – all of my life even the spiritual
side. As I think about this subject I realize again that the time
change has helped me look at my life and how I live it. As I think
about it maybe I need more time changes. (Just kidding but I hope you
get the point)
