The Time of My Life!

Life is a clock. Clocks measure on the small daily scale but in reality, the same principle can be applied to life. The Bible teaches that our life is like a vapor that appears for a little time and vanishes away. It makes the point that life is short, but sometimes we fail to comprehend the full brevity of life. So.... What time is it in your life. If life were scaled to 1 day, where are you in your day. Let's say you live to be 80 years old. I write this at 34, and cannot say exactly that my estimations are correct. I am willing to take any criticism you might have, but it is now 7 AM and I must start my day. Enjoy!
