Punctuality

Punctuality is a virtue. I thought about this in the toilet at church today during worship practice as I thought of Kenny always being punctual and on time. 

Then I thought: wait a minute! Punctuality is not a virtue! It is a basic requirement of everyone to be punctual., isn't it? One of my leaders in church shared this before; that when we are late for our appointments, we are telling the person we are meeting that our time is more important than ours, that we are, crudely speaking, disrespecting them.

In the last few years, I am more aware of this when my P reinforced that during meetings. Teachers are fond of strolling in a minute or 2 for one reason or another. She would also tell us the same thing, that it's a form of respect to the one chairing the meeting when we are there 5 minutes before the meeting starts.

Same goes for punctuality when attending service. We don't want to be late when we are meeting God, right?
