Wrist watches are disposable items today. The art of watch repair is quickly vanishing. “Rollex” owners are privileged to have the distinction of using a timepiece touched by the hands of a craftsman.

In the 1950's-1960's two of the best well know brands were “Bullova” and “Timex,” each affordable and dependable. “Timex” is still easily accessible in many stores. The television commercials for “Timex” were very effective. The advertising slogan was “Timex takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin!”
The ads were mini cliff hangers, showing abuse to the watches. One commercial showed a “Timex” strapped to a boat motor and placed in a large clear container of water. The motor was started and and ran at full speed. The climax of the demonstration...The watch was still ticking! “Timex” could take the beating and won the respect of prospective buyers.
The Bible shows us a man, who like “Timex” could “ take a lickin and keep on tickin',” the Apostle Paul: (2 Corinthians 11:23-27).
Paul was beaten, whipped, stoned, shipwrecked, suffered from hunger and thirst, severe weather conditions and needed clothing. Did he throw in the towel? No, and we can be encouraged by his example. If he could remain faithful, so can we.
