    Think about the concept of time. We measure things by time.Time management is an important factor in our lives. We all wish we had more time yet we waste so much of it. Let's see what the bible has to say about time.

    IT'S ABOUT TIME Think about the concept of time. Our memories are recalling moments in time. We measure things by time. Right now the Olympics are going on.

Think about how much of life depends on timing. Arriving five minutes late to ...read more
