Time...

I've just got back from a morning of lectures and it was the last lecture that got my creative thought processes going. We had a guest speaker who was French and did admittedly sound like Stephen Hawking. But it was a pretty good lecture and I was impressed at the courage he had, to talk his views through in a second language and what I enjoyed even more was the biblical elements he added to it, as he quoted great verses from the Bible, it was impossible not to smile!
So whilst telling us about Shakespeare, an important theme came up...Time. It made the slow cogs in my mind turn and think seriously about time. A topic poets have long written about, singers have sung about and people have thought about and always will. Time never seems to be in abundance, yet we seem to waste it so much it's easy to get the opposite impression. Even now I'm up against the clock, as I have a lecture (again) in half an hour and these thoughts need to motivate my hands to type faster-not that any of this will be particularly profound!
I've spent a whole weekend neglecting time, by reading and relaxing, yet I do wonder whether that is a neglection (yes it's a word ish) of my time, I know others would think so. In the grand scheme of things, life isn't short, despite what people say it's not life that's short, it's time that makes it seem so. I know that in just a few months my first year at uni will have gone and this blog will be in an archive of many many blogs.
I guess we need to learn to treasure time, to make the most of it. To live life to the full and to live meaningful lives-find Jesus and you'll know meaning, believe me!
Because..."Life's not the number of breaths you take, but the number of moments that take your breath away" I love that saying, because I wish every moment was like that, (although I would be very short of breath all of the time) or at least that I would learn to make the most of my time and be grateful for it.
Yeah, so that's it, I don't have time to type any more. (Cheesy!)
