That is why I initially said it's a discipline issue. Being on time is something you practice over and over and over. Same with prayer...daily prayer is discipline.

and I agree with you.  It is a discipline problem. My problem is cutting time too close and not making room for "things" to happen.... and believe me, life happens.
I'm the one responsible for our company having "flex" time.. now, I can start work anywhere from 7-9 a.m... it was the best thing for me. I just discipline myself to be there every morning by 9 a.m. Now something major has to happen to me before I am late anymore. I shoot for 8:15 and it gives me 45 min to mess with. 
As far as church... I drive 55 miles and it takes me an hour... so other than Sunday service where I am involved in music practice before church... I am not late to Sunday service. Practice I am, but I work on it.

I used to be a latebug, but have grown up somewhat in that department. (not to say I'm never late) But I have learned the value of being on time. Also, getting an early start is important. You never know what is going to hold you up - traffic, getting lost, a hair demon could jump on your head...you just never know.
But I it does annoy me greatly when someone arrives super early.
People drop their kids off half an hour early for piano lessons and expect me to keep them entertained until it is time for their lesson. Grrrrrrr...
Drives me nuts.
okay...that's all

I mean as long as we show up whats the problem. We're giving. we're involved.
At work I jump in (when I get there) and do my job.
15 min. maybe a 1/2 hr shouldn't be that big of a deal right?

Yes!!! I am very punctual and I can't stand people that are late!!! Ooops, my daughter is always late for everything!!! She will probably show up at the hospital and the baby will get there first.

Oh my stars!! My brothers and me, for the most part, are extremely punctual...my niece says we get it from our dad.
Growing up, we were always the first to church and almost the last to leave.
I am at work at 4:15am everyday...my shift starts at 5am...can't help it!!
If we plan to meet at a certain time, you can count on my being there early...just can't help it!!

It's a good habit to be on time for work and church.
