Welcome Wednesday!

I am up early today, at least for me.  Normally, I set my alarm for 7am and get to work at about 8:30.  Today, Chris and I are meeting with a church member at 6:30am for Bible study.  We’ve been doing that for several weeks now, and plan to continue as long as we can.
We meet in the man’s basement in order not to disturb the rest of the family as they prepare for their day.  We meet for an hour, and usually are somewhat reluctant to close out the session.  We know we must, however, because he has to get to work himself.
There’s something about seeing the day from a perspective that one normally does not get that makes it special.  Just like being out at 2am, one’s senses are attuned more keenly to the sights and sounds of the morning.  It’s almost like one is transported somehow to a different world…one with many of the same features as the familiar, but a different ambiance, flavor, and aroma.
Of course, sometimes it’s not nearly as poetic as all of that.  Sometimes, it’s just a drag to be out at otherworldly hours, because it’s much more comfortable in bed with eyes fixed on the inside of one’s eyelids, gazing at ethereal delights of the mind in dreamland.
Welcome Wednesday!!
