Time
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven. Today were going to talk about time.
RENEE SYLER.
In December of 2006, she said goodbye to the anchor desk at the CBS early morning news. A month later, she underwent a bilateral prophylactic mastectomy, a pre-emptive strike against breast cancer.
Since then, Renee Syler has taken the time to reflect on her life, her choices and her future. We welcome Renee to Sunday.
TAKING TIME TO TEACH-While it is the best job in the world, parenting is the hardest job you could ever take on. Think how tough it must be for families with few resources, with limited education, or you are relatively new to this country. Thats why the work done through the Parent-Child Home Program sponsored by the Newton Community Center is so important. One of the many goals of the program is to help families prepare their youngest children for school.
SAVE TIME IN THE KTICHEN-With all the preparation underway for the holiday, you are no doubt running out of time to prepare those nutritious meals you want for your family. Before you rush out to the fast food restaurant, you might want to visit Dream Dinners, a creative approach to prepared foods. The company plans the meals, measures and sets up all the ingredients. Then you go in and put them together. Sounds like a deal to me.
TIMES GONE BY-Chase Hill Farm in Ashway Rhode Island is a step way back into colonial New England with its landscape of simple clapboard structures dotting rolling countryside. Everything about the farm is essentially the way it would have been four centuries ago and that is just the way its owner Steve Mack wants to live
JUST THINKING I recently read an intriguing theory about time that suggested we each live in a two hundred year present. The history of our lives can be measured from the oldest to the youngest members with whom we have interacted in our extended families. My Gramdma Matilda who watched over me when I was little, was born on a Arkansas plantation, the daughter of slaves. I've just been introduced to the youngest member of my family, Three week old Emerson a grandniece, who may well live long enough to welcome in the twenty second century. That's an amazing stretch of time, full of giant leaps in every facet of human existence, Think about the distance between a victrola and ipod. Most of us have probably forgotten the energy it once took to dial a phone or get up and change the television channel. But the most thrilling part of this concept for me is what may lie ahead. What changes might improve our world? What peace might be found? When I hold the tiny hand of baby Emerson, I am stirred by the pulse of possibility.
