Awake. Time.

.

Not to bed until nearly five.  Up at... eleven, almost on the dot.  Trash barrel has been brought back in.  Recycling hasn't been picked up.  May not be?  Never can be sure.  Sassy has been fed, and her litter cleared.

Business, today.  Something needs faxed.  Always something.  But, that will happen soon.  Dressed, as if I mean it.  Dark outside, but already up to 62.  It was 66 upstairs, 65 in this front room, and 70 in the main.  But... I turned the furnace up, and forgot to shut it off last night.  Still, when 70 is well warm enough, things have changed.

Breakfast, but need to get the water going.  Then, a few things.  Chores, but need to do some waterers first.  Oh, I need to clean up my shave.  I really missed some areas.  Mostly just the right side of my face, along the sideburn area.  How do I do that?  Bleh.  I'll... get that and give the whole face a refresher... just a single pass, if I hit that one area twice.  Hate that.

Well, on to my day.  Good morning, day, and else, as you please.  Amen.

Why add "amen" to simple, or complex, but seemingly secular notions?  Because everything you do, whether it is cleaning the litter box, cooking a meal, greeting a friend, stranger, or enemy, or else, should be a prayer.  Include God in everything you do, and all you are.  Even your sins.  Ask Him in, to help when you fail.  Do not try to hide.  You... can't hide.  He is the healer who can make you clean, do not spurn Him for your shame which isn't needed in His presence.  He can take that, too.  Amen.
