Today is 9/15/16. I'm up early because I went to bed very early. I was tired last night and found myself sleeping at about 9 pm. The downside to going to bed early is I wake up early. I can only sleep for about 6 hours; 7 if I am tired. My body won't allow any more. I've really been awake since four.
There is much to think about this morning because I am involve in many things. Physically there is work then there is my mental business; it is the work my mind is engaged in. This include the worry, the planning, the problem solving, etc.
Since I have but a temporary halt on painting, I really want to write again. I am having trouble finding a topic to write and not really into the idea of rehashing my old work or continuing past incomplete work. I really don't have a good reason not to pick up where I left off and I don't know what is stopping me.
This morning I am drinking Folger's instant coffee. The aroma reminds me of prison, the taste reminds me of my cell. Those are past days. I read Proverbs 15 this morning because a New Testament was lying in front of me on the table, left by my baby boy.
"The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom, and humility comes before honor" (v33).
I used to read Proverbs everyday; I learned that one chapter exists for each day of the month. A person could read the entire book of Proverbs in a month - if dedicated. I read it maybe 20 times. Proverbs is one of my favorite books.
It is now 530 and I am glad I did this little exercise. My coffee is about 1/2 way down, yet full. It is time to get ready for work.
Good Morning!
