Well. There is No Denying Spring.
Yes, here in the USA it is the Sunday morning we switch to Daylight Savings Time. That seemingly random time to switch the clocks. Forward….
There was a bill in congress to make DST permanent. No. Make regular time permanent. Otherwise… Otherwise all the sundials will be wrong. Seriously You can’t spring forward or back a Sundial. No matter how hard you try.
It seems cruel too that we switch now just when waking to the morning eastern sunrise is Just the Right time! Now also, since AZ doesn’t observe DST, (one lady said we can’t that extra hour of sun will burn my grass), we will be 3 hours different from my Eastern Time Zone.
Usually at church one or two people wander in an hour late. Well not really late but after worship is concluding. And for ministers there is something about that hour change that bounces us off our paces. It did me.
Again I will remind you of the year John and I were so worried about the change, and before clocks reset themselves, that we both had turned the clock forward. As we sat ready to go drinking our coffee the conversation went something like this.
“Oh I’m glad I remembered to turn the clock forward last night but it is really dark!” Pause. “I turned them forward too.” To late to go back to bed so we made a second pot of coffee.
It’s 7 am somewhere…. Good luck.. Smile!
