 * Does anyone know of a function I can use to test for a valid, published, and “
   countdown timer” hasnt been reached function? Basically, I want to have input
   of form_id and a boolean to tell me if it is valid, published and still before
   the countdown timer date/time. I could use the following, but it seems a bit 
   heavy:
 *     ```
       $form = new Give_Donate_Form(  $args[$key] );
   
       		//bail if no form ID.
       		if ( empty( $form->ID ) ) {
       			//Do something in error
       		}
       ```
