Day 172 - December 3 - An Extra Day of Living

What is an extra day of life worth to you? You give up smoking, you get a bunch back. You give up eating junk food, probably a few days there, too. Give up driving in California traffic might add years, apart from the stress relief. What would you do if you knew it would add an extra day to your life?

Well, Eric, it's a good thing I was working on ConnorWatch at 0430 California time. I saw your post dated December 4th, and thought I'd intervene and gently remind you with all the public subtlety of an internationally read blog, that in much of the world it is still December 3rd, and will be all day. Not to ruin the surprise for all of you on the cutting edge of the international date line, but the news of December 4th will have to wait until, well, December 4th. At least here.

Then I realized that Eric's clock is out of whack by a full day, so that by the time he reads this and realizes that it is still only December 3rd, he will have gained a full day of his life back.

That should be a pleasant surprise. As for his December 4th post - it should kick in automatically tomorrow morning. You'll just have to wait.

In the meantime, Eric, Merry Christmas!

Brad

You know how you can be at work, and you think "Excellent! I've only got an hour left before I get to go home!"? But then you look at the clock and you realize you really have two hours to go? That's the feeling you just gave me, Brad. While I'm grateful you caught my mistake, I'm not particularly thrilled at this moment to find I have at least one extra day of this journey left before I get to go home. Yippee. Lord, come quickly. For the first time in my life I really understand Paul when he said "to live is Christ -to die is gain".

And I actually meant to do post that entry today. Yeah, yeah. Really.

The waiting is the hardest part. I feel like a kid again. All the presents under the tree, but this time I cannot peak. Whats up with that?

Hey I guess the brothers Williamsons all have a good knack for writing! I enjoyed the thought of gaining a day back on my life. I was thinking more of the bloopers in my life that happen once in a while, and I know that every single moment is ordained by our God who created the entire universe! How amazing is that! I pray that you all feel the love of God today and know that He gives you the grace you need for the hard times. Talk to you again soon!
From,
Valerie

Well...I must be the only one up at the crack of dawn with everyone else because I saw that early morning post this morning and was going to leave a message regarding it, but didn't feel like doing in from my iPhone at 5 a.m. with sleep in my eyes. So, I'll wait until tomorrow.

Blessings Williamson family!
