...Daylight Savings Time, that is.

In most places across the United States, you'll need to turn your clocks back 1 hour before you go to bed tonight -- or you could set your alarm for 2:00 AM to wake you up so you can turn the clock back an hour and then reset the alarm for whatever time you want to get up later.

Just set it before you go to bed.

According to the U.S. Naval Observatory website:

"Daylight time begins in the United States on the first Sunday in April and ends on the last Sunday in October. On the first Sunday in April, clocks are set ahead one hour at 2:00 a.m. local standard time, which becomes 3:00 a.m. local daylight time. On the last Sunday in October, clocks are set back one hour at 2:00 a.m. local daylight time, which becomes 1:00 a.m. local standard time."

Not all places in the U.S. observe daylight time. In particular, Arizona, Hawaii, and most of Indiana do not use it.

In 2003, daylight time begins on April 6 and ends on October 26.

In 2004, daylight time begins on April 4 and ends on October 31.

In 2005, daylight time begins on April 3 and ends on October 30.

Many other countries observe some form of "summer time", but they do not necessarily change their clocks on the same dates as the U.S.

Daylight time and time zones in the U.S. are defined in the U.S. Code, Title 15, Chapter 6, Subchapter IX - Standard Time.

What will you do with your extra hour?

Hummmm...

Well, that's something you can pray about.

think on these things...

Then Jesus brought them to an olive grove called Gethsemane, and he said, "Sit here while I go on ahead to pray."

He took Peter and Zebedee's two sons, James and John, and he began to be filled with anguish and deep distress.

He told them, "My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and watch with me."

He went on a little farther and fell face down on the ground, praying, "My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will, not mine."

Then he returned to the disciples and found them asleep.

He said to Peter, "Couldn't you stay awake and watch with me even one hour? Keep alert and pray. Otherwise temptation will overpower you. For though the spirit is willing enough, the body is weak!"

-- Matthew 26:36-41
