Daylight Savings Time


Or as it is called summer time. It is an effort to use daylight more efficiently. They do it on Sunday so people can more easily adjust to the time change. As the saying goes, you fall back or spring forward. We have to spring forward. That means we have loss an hour of sleep time until we adjust our schedule. That is why I am almost 3 hours late posting this blog. I slept in this morning. Do you know that Benjamin Franklin suggested a form of Daylight Savings Time?  Many countries have used this at different times. Did you know that people live in the northern and southern part of the earth have trouble with the constant night time? When the earth is tilled on its axis for winter or summer, there is a period of total night or day. Image 24 hours of dark or sun. I have even experienced a little of that malady. During the winter months there is a time when I get up in the night to go to work. Then I come home in the night when I get off of work. It is due to the short days of winter. I don’t want to find out about 24 hours of night. Of course this is an effort of the government to keep people productive in their work, for obvious reasons. I still like gaining an hour of sleep and not losing the hour. But it is a beautiful day and the thunderstorms we have been experiencing have blown away. I feel sorry for the people in the northern and eastern United States. They are being deluged by rain. Some have seen tornados that have destroyed homes, but mostly flooding. I am an optimist. I have always tried to live my life with hope for the future. I don’t believe that we can’t do anything about our situation. This is why I believe what God said. He said, this is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it.
