Synchronise

24/03/2007 by David.

There is a ritual in my house just before bedtime at this time of year. All the clocks have to be changed allowing for British Summer Time. I tend to do it at about 10pm - which is really a bit early and generally causes confusion.

Beside my bed I have a small clock that listens in to the time signal from Rugby - or the new location in Cumbria, and adjusts itself automatically. So does my computer.

We all go through this performance marking the “rites of spring” - and those who forget are late for Church - or for their visit to the supermarket. By Monday most people have caught up. “Spring forward and fall back” - how often will that be repeated to remind us which way the hands of the clock go?

I like the thought of a clock that synchronises itself with the immensely accurate atomic clocks - because seconds count.

Keep in step with the Spirit, says Paul. Get your life synchronised with God’s clock.
