The Greeks had two words for time: chromos for the orderly procession of minutes and hours, and kairos for the way time ebbs and flows, flashing past in some moments and creeping by at others. Of course time can’t be both orderly and chaotic. But of course it is.
What are you doing with your time? What is time doing with you?
Actually, it’s chronos, (kronos) in Koine Greek.

King James Word Usage
“Time” is ruling my life at this point. I can see that the end of my life is coming and I have a lot of things that I want to get done before I die. I haven’t set priorities and am confused. I am trying to figure it out lots of the “time” , taking up too much “time” doing just that. I want to arrive at the point when I know what I want, what I want to discard, what I have a passion to accomplish with the “time” I have left; then I’ll be able to live in the moment and enjoy each second, minute, hour, day, month, year that I still will have.
