I made a goal a few weeks ago to start waking up earlier than my children. There were no stipulations in this goal of say, how much earlier I planned to arise nor what I would do with my extra morning time. As most guilt-ridden church goers know, promises to pray and read the Bible more, especially early in the morning, typically end up leaving us with more guilt and little else to show for our lack of discipline, except maybe a reminder that we are weak, weak humans, who can’t even sacrifice a little bit of our first moments of the day with the One who created us.
I don’t know about you, but I also ignore my husband in the morning. It isn’t personal, God. Really.
