Time moves fast. I have heard people say for a long time "the older you get the faster time seems to move." But you know, time is time. It moves at the same pace today that it has always moved. Days are not getting shorter, hours are not getting shorter, a second is still a second. I think the reason time feels like it is moving faster as we get older is because the longer we live, the more we want to hold on to. The older I get, every day that passes I find a deeper desire to rewind time. If I could just rewind the clock one year to this day....I would be in Tulsa holding my mom. I simply want one more hug. I want to hear her laugh one more time. I want to stand by her in the kitchen and eat off the stove. I want to see her face when Kylie and Clayton run up to the door. I want to look back in the rear view mirror and see her chasing the car. I want to hold her hand. I want to hear her voice. I want to say I love you one more time. As it is, I will have to wait. As it is, I will have to endure the fact that there is a time for everything. The time that I live in now is set, understanding that there is a time for everything I revere a Holy and Righteous God.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-14
1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. 9 What does the worker gain from his toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on men. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. 13 That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God. 14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him.
