As a homeschooling Mom, I felt the need for a stopwatch.
There are so many things I could use it for:
Math Flash Cards - beat your time from last week
P.E. Class - (possibilities endless here)
Geography - How fast can you name all 50 States and Capitals?
I finally purchased a stopwatch on my last Wal Mart trip....
....on Thursday....
....4 days ago.....
and that thing beeps every day........ every hour....... on the hour.
Only not on the hour.
It actually beeps at 22 minutes past the hour.
I can't make it stop.
(And neither can Dan - so there).
Anyway, I figured there has to be a spiritual application here.
Maybe something to do with the persistent elderly widow found in the Bible?
But it is 9:30 at night and I am. going. to. do. my. pilates. yet. today!
So the best I got is.....
Don't be annoying. Don't be a stop watch.
Or maybe avoid the temptation to buy one in the first place. :)

You have any spiritual application ideas on this one?
Do you live within a 2 hour radius and know how to turn off a stopwatch alarm?!?
Ah, bless Walmart's return policy. Take the thing back!
ReplyDeleteSo, the spiritual application...shake the dust from your feet and move on (to a different stopwatch or none at all).
The only thing I can come up with is to stop and pray each time you hear the stop watch go off. It would be a good reminder to pray continually!
ReplyDelete@ Joelle -
ReplyDeleteOOOOOH! I like it. Great Idea!
(at least until I have my neighbor's P.E. teacher husband fix the stopwatch for me) ;)
