Time passes slowly here in the mountains...

According to Christianity, time was a consequence of sin. The Earth and Eden were created in the context of eternity and when sin entered the world time began; hence every second, every hurried moment, every time you apologize for being late, is a reminder of the consequence of sin.

I’m at my In-Laws farm in the mountains of Middle Tennessee and experiencing a micro-glimpse of life before or after sin. I have not worn a watch in three days. I can’t tell you where one clock is in the house, and I’m not sure what day it is. In saving this file I had to find my phone and check the day just to name it. Time passes slowly here in the mountains; if you notice it at all.

When is the last time you experienced a little heaven, where time fades and life; moment by moment, is lived? Our Father who art in Heaven…may your will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven.
