1.9 Years
1,000,000 minutes equals 1.9 years. What can you accomplish in 1.9 years? Or the question should be what do you want to accomplish in 1.9 years. Does a challenge or an assignment expand to fill its allotted time? If so I have have discovered a problem with my 1,000,000 minutes challenge. Or maybe it is not a problem or better yet, that’s the beauty of it. I’ll be back in 1,000 minutes with an answer.
Happy birthday
28,382,403 minutes old or
473,040 hours old or
19,710 days old
Puts some perspective on being 54 years old. Sure I’m old, but over 28 million minutes old omg! When I tried one last calculation for seconds my iPhone calculator answer with an e in it (1.7####e#) now that crazy. I’ve lived so many one second moments that my iPhone couldn’t calculate it. If you were to tell me I had 1,000,000 minutes to go my initial thought is that I would have time enough to accomplish anything. I’ve had 28 of those expanses of time. 28! OK not really sure what I’m getting at, what’s your point you might ask. I don’t know. I’m just loosing track of time writing about time. Seem like a hell of a lot of time though. One million minutes! Said with a Dr. Evil accent makes it seem like even more time.
Maybe my point is all about perspective. Now that I’m past middle age my perspective has definitely shifted. I may not have 28 more millions left in my life, but by the Grace of God I surely at least have several more left. So that begs the obvious question for me to ask. What do I want to do with my next one million minutes? I’m the next 1,000,000 minutes I would like to accomplish something special. Since it’s my birthday I won’t expect an answer tonight, but let’s say in the next 1,000 minutes I will return here to About Time and Being with and answer. OK then, good night. See you in 16.67 hours with an answer.

God’s Speed
What does the words God’s Speed mean to you? I’ve been wishing people
God’s Speed for many weeks and I just realized I’m not exactly sure what it means. We can only assume God is pretty fast. Being outside of time may make him incredibly fast and incredibly slow all at the same time. Infinite speed and infinite slowness sound like superpowers. Being outside time makes for the possibility of infinite time. God’s speed may be a combination of time, space and being making the all important question. In the mean time, I will continue to bestow it upon those around me. My time. Their time. Our time. Is it really possible to possess time? Time is to nebulous to possess it completely. We do give it away. We squander is all the time. Waste it procrastinating. Loose it entertaining ourselves. We sleep it away. I’m dozing as I write those so I will close. Thank You for this time. Thank you for helping me make right now big enough. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Hope
Hope is the difference. The true antidote to despair. Pessimism is easy. Optimism takes effort. Hope requires so much more. The optimist believes in the end everything will work out fine. Things have a way of working themselves out for the better. Hope takes faith. Hope requires Love. Hope knows it will be OK even when it isn’t. Hope rises in the face of failure. Hope conquers. Hope comforts. Hope floats. One of the greatest gifts from our creator is the evolution of the human ability to Hope. When reason fails Hope avails. When our intellect condemns out fate Hope finds a way. When our chances are a million to one there is Hope. There is no worse a state of mind than hopelessness. To give up Hope is to give up on life itself. If you loose Hope you are lost. When all is lost choose Hope. Never give it up. Hope is Soul food. You mind, body and Spirit thrive on Hope. It is the very essence of your Heart and Soul and with it they can make miracles happen.
I wish Thee Hope and Happiness all the days of your life. I pray Thee have Hope in the dark times for it will light the way. Exercise optimism as it will show the path to take. Choose Love for without it there is no Hope. When all else fails have Hope. Have Hope in the face of despair. Have Hope when all is lost. Have Hope for a better tomorrow. Choose Hope as an antidote for despair. Be Hopeful and seize the day.
