Killing Time

How do I kill time?
Let me count the ways.

By worrying about things
over which I have no control.
Like the past.
Like the future.

By disdaining the ordinary
or, rather, what I
so mindlessly
call ordinary.

By failing to appreciate what is
because of might-have-beens,
should-have-beens,
could have beens.

These are some of the ways
I kill time.

Jesus didn't kill time.
He gave life to it.
His own.
