What Time Is It?
Seems like a simple question, but NO!
We must wrestle with this dilemma two times each year!
The seasons tick faithfully round the clock; spring to summer, summer to fall, fall to winter, winter to spring. Then, cruel fate and man step in to confuse the innocent and ADHD.
We struggle to remember:
"Is it Spring forward?" (because you can spring backwards, you know!)
"Or is it Fall back?" (my mom was phobic about falling forward down the escalator)
~1st: Standard time! I'm ok with it. It's normal. It's stable. It's ancient.
~2nd: Daylight savings time! Gives us more daytime? Lies! Shifting the dawn an hour does not fool us. The sun knows the truth. The moon does, too. So do the dogs, when it's meal time.
Getting to church on time can be a problem. Today we were an hour early, thank you very much.
To discuss this any further we must research versions of the Christian Calendar: The Julian calendar and the Gregorian calendar. The difference between them lies in the way they approximate the length of the tropical year and their rules for calculating Easter.
We have 1 rule at each equinox...wait until early Sunday, grab the phone and call:
These are the people that know about Time:

Having tried twigs et al, I would rather eat Gravel, bugs and dirt.
I am still attempting to figure this time thing out.I should go to the U.S. Atomic Clock website and watch the numbers go around until I reboot. John Cash was GREAT!
maybe with someone rebooting and someone else paying attention maybe someone might figure out what time it is...
Ha ha Johnny Cash with 'Don't Take Your One to Town Bird'.
Remember Smoky Robinson's 'U Really Got A Hold On Me'?
Time?
All I knows is that it's passing by too dang fast all the livelong day.
