Time

Pascagoula, Mississippi, 2005, one month before being devastated by Hurricane Katrina

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break down and a time to build up; a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to get and a time to lose; a time to keep and a time to cast away; a time to rend and a time to sew; a time to keep silence and a time to speak; a time to love and a time to hate; a time of war and a time of peace. (Ecclesiastes 3, 1-8).

All these times come to us - our problem is we want to pick and choose which times come when, and we want all the good times and none of the bad.

This apparently is the time for me to work long days and through the course of weekends.  This time is all business - fun and games will resume when it is their time again.
