Early morning call

I awoke this morning at 4.
I had a choice to make . . . I could stay in bed and try to get back to my remaining two hours of sleep, or, I could get up and spend extended time with God. I got up.
As much as I enjoy my rest, I enjoy even more the times when God clearly calls me to come and sit with Him.
So I prayed, I read, I journaled.
Early mornings with my Father are always worth getting up for.

Greg NettleI am a diehard Cleveland Browns fan that dies hard every year. I have traveled to Peru, Ecuador, Ireland, Tanzania, England, France, Holland, South Africa, Wales, Northern Ireland, Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, Haiti and Scotland. And there’s nothing I would rather do than have a cup of coffee with my wife, Julie, at our local Starbucks. I enjoy bungee jumping, whitewater rafting and skydiving. The faster the roller coaster the better. My most recent adventures have included climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and a spiritual pilgrimage to Israel. I have read more than 50 books a year for the past 20 years but my favorite is to read the Bible with my 10 year old daughter, Tabitha and newly adopted son, Elijah. I used to travel and sing with Rich Mullins and I have had breakfast with Jerry Falwell. I would rather spend an hour with Howard Stern than an hour with the Pope. I love Kraft macaroni and cheese out of a box, Ho Ho’s, filet mignon and lobster with drawn butter—jalapenos on everything..
Yo G, totally agree.. W/ little ones it’s about the only quality study/journal time I get anymore.. God speaks so clearly into my heart in the a.m. BTW: Keep Dom in your prayers.. We had a trip to Mercy yesterday for IV fluids / meds .. Hes a sick little kiddo.. Sorry we couldn’t make it today.. Richele was up quite a bit last night w/ him sooo, she slept this a.m. while I took care of the kiddo’s.. Love ya dude, Trent
