I take a certain amount of well deserved, if I say so myself, pride in keeping to a well organized schedule; my to-do-list. If it is on that list, I am going to do it, regardless of the difficulty attached. The trick is to get on that list which I guard w

person that I am, I just burst out laughing. 

"Boy," I said heartily, "you almost got me with that one. I'll give that
one to you." Then I went back to my work. 

"But it is February," she said more sternly than I have heard her say

this was actually serious. With the rather stunned tone to my voice I 
ask, "Whatever happened to January?" 

It was then the laughter started. I must say it has not subsided
appreciably since. She has a way of rubbing things in when I am wrong. 
If the tables were turned, and they never are, I would not take

I swallowed my pride, which I have had a lot of practice doing, and
began to realize I had been working on a false premise. It was actually 
February, time had gone by so quick and I was so busy I did not realize 
how fast it was going. 

In Ecclesiastes 3:1, the man of God says, "To every thing there is a
season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." 

If you are too busy to know what time it is, you are too busy.
