Good Morning World

I'm not on my computer so you have to imagine a picture of a sunrise with a few wispy clouds and a beautiful glow in the sky. I love mornings. I once hated mornings, but when I was a married college student with a young child I would go to bed at 8 PM and get up to study at 3 AM in the absolute silence of the house. I began to realize the gift of silence even before I would have ever prayed. This time of day just feeds me. The whole day takes on a different tone when I get out of bed late or have to move quickly even when I get up early. Settling in the quiet soothes my soul. It's foolish to think that God is more available in the morning than at other times, but it feels that way to me. I just love to meditate and contemplate and vegetate in this peaceful time. Life seems clear in the morning. Issues get a plan, maybe not a good one but a plan. Things sort out often with God's gentle voice other times through my own intellect and experience, but the day starts with order. In so many ways I have been a lucky man. Who would have thought that a sacrifice made so I could have some family time and a quiet space for study would give a gift for life. Today shapes up to be a wonderful day. The forcast is friends. God bless this day with my clear vision of your presence in every moment. Go with me, we'll enjoy this one.
