The land that time forgot... sort of

For a place supposedly free from the tyranny of the clock, I find myself thinking about time... All the time.
-The timing of a visit to friend's house is very important. Stopping in at the wrong time adds burden to your host to prepare food; sometimes at a great cost of money and TIME.
-Is is time to hang clothes on the line before the afternoon rains come?
-Is there time to bleach veggies, pick rocks from rice, make bread, or fry the peanuts all in TIME to get dinner to my hungry family at a normal TIME?
-Is it time to charge the phone or the computer battery before the the electricity goes off for the next 24 hours ( 2 days on, 1 day off is the normal schedule around here)
-Is it time to get to the market to get the meat before the heat and the flies get it first? EEWW
-Is it time to shut the doors and pull down the mosquito nets to protect from malaria?
-Is it time to take our malaria prophylaxis?
-Is there time to turn the hot water heater on for baths and to do the evening dishes?
-Is it time to fill the water filter to give us the liters of water that we need each day? ( thankfully with the new filters the need for boiling had been removed)

-the Bible reminds us that there is time in each day for what the Lord has asked us to do.
To manage the daily tasks in a reasonable amount of time, so as to to wring from each day all the love, joy, service, and experience that God has for us, has been our goal as we use our time....
And my how TIME flies
