It seems, the archeologists surmise, these people were ruled by this little ticking object. Perhaps they considered it a household god of sorts.

Anyone remember the David Macaulay book "Motel of Mysteries," in which future archaeologists assumed that tooth brushes were ear ornamentation and "Sanitized for your protection" was a religious chant?

There are links to further information at the source document.

That was the first thing I thought of when I read this article. Motel of the Mysteries is a classic, one that can be read again and again with loud guffaws and the illustrations are all keepers. If you liked that one, you will also enjoy Nigel Barley’s The Innocent Anthropologist and Not a Hazardous Sport.

In her outstanding new book, Time Peace, my friend and former colleague Ellen Vaughn offers sound biblical principles on how to think about time. She says, “Time is not our enemy when we are friends with God. It is but a resource to be used, like food or oxygen. We can keep it, rather than be kept by it.

Quickest way to see your time increase during the day? Wake up early and spend 15-30 minutes involving yourself in God's Word. I wouldn't have believed it years before, but the days I listen to a sermon on the way to work along with a devotional in the morning, time falls into its proper place.

Sounds like a book I'll have to check into

And there are those of us who take the 4th commandment literally, and spend every 7th day from sunset to sunset in remembrance. We still call it the sabbath, as Jesus did. Just like the tithe, we have plenty of time left to do what needs doing in the remaining six days.
