L.B.

This is not a review. I just want to let you know what I got from watching this movie.

IN TIME.

Warning! for those who hasn't seen this movie yet and don't want any spoilers...stop reading now.

Otherwise...read on.

The story is set in future where TIME is Gold, and I mean it. and literally.

Everyone is born with a digital clock in their hands.

They are 'Genetically' engineered to stop aging at 25. That's the good thing at least.

Trouble is they can only live one more year after that as the time in their hands starts to countdown.

And the moment those numbers reaches to zero, the person instantly dies.

Unless they can get time.

Yes. Time. People live and die using their own time.

They go to work to earn time...to eat, to drink, to call in a phone, to buy something, to ride in a bus, to gamble and everything.

Time is their money and people would do everything just to extend even a minute of their time.

Rich people has more than a century while others live a day just to earn another day of their lives.They always run make the most out of it while others spend it in luxury.

I said to myself, finally a movie that teaches us how to really value TIME.

That's the essence of this movie.

For us to realize that TIME is not just gold...it's everything.

More essential than any resources we have.

I understand the virtue of patience but I'm also against wasting time.

When you watch this movie, maybe...no, I hope that after that...

We can make the most of our time.

As SFC, we have this thing called the 'Covenant Card'.

It's our oath as an SFC. It is the creed that we follow. Our Covenant with God.

Besides our SFC ID, for me its essence is much like the license of a Board passer.

It is the very basic SFC manual and it depicts the culture of the community.

It is a guide for us to grow in our service and spiritual life.

What do I get from SFC Covenant Card?

It reminds me of the 'things that I should be doing as SFC'...as a Christian.

To live as a follower of Christ in many simple ways.

Pray daily.Read Scriptures daily.Put good order in my private life...and the list go on.

This piece of card reminds me also of the great promise of God. His Covenant with us.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ~ Jeremiah 29:11

 And that He is a faithful God. "I will never break my covenant with you." ~ Judges 2:1

And so we must be faithful too in our part.

Whenever I'm in doubt, have so many questions and complains, and getting tired, getting bored...

I just read my covenant card and pray silently.

I think when you are face to face with Christ, no questions will matter anymore.
