Figuring Things Out

     The alarm went off early.  That's not that unusual, even for a saturday because Darryl often forgets (insert usually) to turn off his alarms.   Today, however, was not an oversight...today he and Michael are going squirrel hunting.

     But since I was awake I climbed out of bed and padded down to make coffee and think.   About God.  Just think.

     I love the early morning because all the "duty" is removed from me and I feel peaceful...or raw looking for peace.  Either way, it's my time to quit the flighty,  shallow mode of  waitress in the morning rush  at Waffle House.  

     I spend so little time here that I wonder if the waitress is REALLY who I am! and THIS a farce!  I know....that is kind of up to me.   Each day--each moment we get to choose.

    This Summer I'm choosing to spend time in Psalm 119.  I pray that God will, through it,
                        "Turn my heart toward His statutes....my eyes away from worthless things..."
 
    Well...not ALL the duty is removed.  I owe it to God to at least do this.   Open His word.  Be quiet.
      LISTEN.
