VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Time Matters!

Time Is In Session
AND
60 Seconds
AND
60 Minutes
Are On Parade
That Is
Until 24 Hours Showed Up!
Things Soon Got Ugly!
Plug Ugly!

Every Time 
Believes That He Is Important
AND
Every Moment Knows That He Is The Best!

Things Got So Bad
That Time Piece
- That Able Time Keeper -
Called For
Life N. Time To Make A Presentation
To
- Once And For All Time -
Declare Which Time
Is The Most Precious!

Well ...

All The Time Segments
Had Their Own Opinions
AND
All The Time Segments
Decided That They Were Going To Show Up
To Ensure That They Were Not Minimized
By Those Special Interests 
Quiet Time
Me Time
Work Time
Rest Time
Vacation Time
Prayer Time
Crying Time
Sighing Time
War Time
Peace Time
Pastime
Harvest Time
Spring Time
Summer Time
Blessing Time
Time S. Money
Make Time
Buy Time
Holy Time
AND
All Their Ilk!

Some Time
Put A Spanner In The Works 
By Sarcastically Making Mention Of 
His Famous Friend And Known Time Hog
Christmas Time
Who Was Always Fighting With
Easter Time 
Time O'Mi Life
Time Tu Die
AND
Day O. Birth
For Pride Of Place!

Let Me Tell You ...

On The Day Of The Great Presentation
There Was Not A Single Empty Seat
In The Great Hall!
Truth Be Told
Time Wasn't Running
Nor Running Late
BUT
Being Time  ... On Target
Had Fanned Out Into The Corridors Of 
Known Time!

I Will Not Bore You With The Sordid Details
AND
The Lurid Descriptions Of 
The Things That D. Mortal Man Does With His Time
BUT
Single Moment
Called Out Certain Time
AND
Hell To Pay Cuffed
I Don't Care In His Ear
AND
That Is When 
The Time Warriors Were Called Out!

The Great Hall Was Placed On Lock-Down
AND
The Big Guns Owned And Operated
By Finite Time
In Opposition To Secular Time
AND
Waste O'Time
Came Marching In!

And ...

Lo And Behold
Hard Time Was With Them!

So, Obviously ...

Appointed Time Rose Up
AND
In Determined Tones 
Spoke:

Brethren!
May I Call You Brethren?!

Harrumph! Harrumph!

Please Stand Up
As I Call Your Names!

1440 Minutes ... You Make The Day
10,080 Minutes ... You Make The Week
43,800 Minutes ... You Make The Month
525,600 Minutes ... You Make The Year
AND
To Bring It All Down To Reality
86,400 Seconds
You Make The Day Count!

All Of You Want The Preeminence
BUT
You Are All Forgetting
The Ever Important Input Of 
D. Mortal Man!

If D. Mortal Man Does Not Cooperate With You
You Do Not Count!

Noooo!
Impossible!
Can't Happen!

Then ...

Truth Be Bold
AND
Truth Be Told
Got Up And Eloquently Spoke:

'Tis True! 'Tis True!
D. Mortal Man
Takes Time
And Uses It As He Pleases
Totally Forgetting That Wasted Time
Is Time From His Life Depleted!

Time Is A Precious Commodity ...!

... You Better Believe It!

Time Is A Non-Renewable Resource
And All Who Consort With That One Called
Waste O'Time
Have From Common Sense 
Gotten A Very Expensive Divorce!

Time Wasted
Cannot Be Reclaimed!
Time Well Utilized
Is To The Whole Heart Enchained
But
Whatever Use Is Made Of Time
Time Is Finite
Fixed
As Issued To All Living
From The Holy Hand Of
The Lord God Divine!

Make Time Count
Is My Challenge To D. Mortal Man!
Live Time To The Full!
Don't Sell Time Short!
Let Time Be A Blessing
To One And To All
For
The Day Of Reckoning Is Coming
When Accounts Of Time Spent
Must Be Reconciled 
With The Great Time Keeper
The Eternal God!

As Is To Be Expected ...

Use O. Time
AND
Save D. Time
Proceeded To Make A Plain Example Of
Waste O'Time
Cheating Time
AND
Constant Down Time
By Letting Dusty Time Have A Swinging Time
With Them!

When Time O' Departure Yelled For
Quitting Time
D. Mortal Man Was Seen
- Hurriedly -
To Be Zipping His Lip
After He Had Valiantly Tried 
AND
Had Gloriously Failed
To Flip The Script!

Time Waits For No One Called D. Mortal Man!

Day O'Grace
Gave Voice To The Benediction.

The Following Note 
Was Appended To 
The Transcript Of The Session:


** All Time Is Precious! **
Time Lost Cannot Be Regained
And
When D. Mortal Man Closes His Eyes
For The Final Time 
Time
- For Him -
Is Forever Over!
Afterward Is The Time Of Judgment!

Let D. Mortal Man Know
That The Period
Between BIRTH - DEATH
Critically Matters To His Maker
And
Should Critically Matter To Him As Well.
Don't Waste Time!
