OP-ED BY REV. NOAH SWAYNE – At the end of June this year, scientists will add an extra second to atomic clocks around the world, a tweak intended to make up for changes in the earth’s rotation.

Just think of it!  A second we otherwise wouldn’t have!  What a golden opportunity to do something good! 

Spend it by spreading love to your family and friends. Spend it by healing long-festering wounds with your enemies. Spend it by calling someone you haven’t spoken with in a long time. And if you have any time left, help a neighbor paint his house, or knit a sweater for your cranky aunt! 

In short, MAKE LEAP SECOND COUNT — it’s a second we otherwise wouldn’t have!
