Clock...the ruler of time

Imagine...
...if there were no clocks in the world. Alarms wouldn't jolt us out of bed. School bells wouldn't announce that we were late. Work would be done when work was done instead of when the clock tells us "it's five ' o clock". Meetings would happen once everyone was there. We wouldn't be staring at the clock all the time fretting about what we need to get to next. I've decided I hate time. I know, I know, it's part of what keeps order in our "civilized" country. But isn't it awesome to think that in heaven, there is no time? I don't think it's a coincidence that we fight it. We weren't made to live within its confines. Our friends that live in Africa said that one of the toughest things to get used to at first was "African Time"... which meant... whenever it happens, it happens. I wonder if we have grown addicted to it here in America. We act like life would not work without a clock and yet... people lived without them for thousands of years. Hmm..... just thinkin'.
