Time is Ticking

Have you ever thought of how time came to be?  Time in the sense of seconds, minutes, hours and days is really quite a miracle when you think about it!  Even just a few hundred years ago there was time in the Native American Americas and then separate time in Europe and another time in Africa and another time in Australia.  Heck, it was different time from Spain to Portugal or any neighboring country.  Every culture had their own way of measuring or keeping track of time.

When did the world click?  What was the point at which I, in Idaho, looked at my watch that says 5:00pm and someone in Utah looked at their watch and it said 5:00pm?  Then halfway across the world someone looked at their watch and said it's 5:00am...but on the next day?

How do millions and millions of watches everywhere tick around a little circle EXACTLY at the same time?!  How did we go from sundials to tell us what time of day it is to something that wraps around our wrist?  THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!  Now that's you're thinking about it, isn't it AMAZING?!?!

I've just been marveling recently about how awesome man is.  How creative he is.  How inspired he must be.  There's no way man could think of all these things on his own.  He just isn't that smart.  As smart as man is, I just don't think a man alone could coordinate all those watches!
