learn to number your days

Though we can't assume a number of days left to us we can still for practical purposes count a determined number to formulate efforts and goals regarding our development in the Faith.

There are many ways to number the days. A 40 day period is useful for many kinds of efforts and projects. There are, give or take a few days, not less than nine 40-day periods in a year. Alot can be accomplished in a 40 day period.

The Bible can be read out loud in 70 hours (or so it is said). So in a 70-day period, with one hour of Bible reading a day, the Bible can be read complete.

3 day periods, 7 day periods, 30 day periods; depending on the project, counting the days is part of getting practical and honest and serious with what you are doing regarding learning and doing the Faith.

When you don't consciously number your days you drift in a haze through your time. You waste your time. You usually engage in desultory behaviour regarding projects and efforts, if you engage in any kind of effort to do anything that isn't a one day cycle.

You need to have projects and efforts that carry through over time and form arcs over days and weeks and months to accomplish the most important things. Great bridges span deeper, wider bodies of water. Oceans.

Learn to number your days. When you arrive at the end of a year, be able to look back and see that you have redeemed your time effectively, rather than just drifted through the year engaging in a repetitive daily pattern of shallow activities and time-wastage.
