Time belongs to God; yet we men mess with time. Tonight in most of the country we will spring forward, despite the fact that nothing has been very spring like lately. The powers that be, politicians I guess, have deemed when we change clocks and the spring forward deal gets moved earlier and earlier. There is even a move to make the spring forward thing permanent.
There is much wrong with spring forward. Now happening with 2-3 months of school left before summer break, we place children at bus stops all across the country in pitch black darkness. We are also learning that the spring forward dilemma, which causes massive fatigue in millions is now considered a cause for several major illnesses. Now I don't know about that, but I just think daylight savings time is selfish.
I also won't pretend here to know the mind of God as it relates to this time manipulation. We do add leap day every 4 years to the calendar, and we adjust a second here or a second there every now and again. I just don't get it. I say let God be the master of time; which he is of course.
So as a public service reminder, even though I don't like it, spring forward tonight, lose that precious hour of sleep, and good luck waking up on time for the next several weeks.
Daylight savings time; I don't like it.
