No, no, no! That will *add* unsightly pounds! Never, ever leave FR - just do the recommended exercises while FReeping!

In The Morning

Read: Mark 1:23-39

In the morning . . . He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed. —Mark 1:35

Bible In One Year: Genesis 33-35; Matthew 10:1-20

---

Are you so rushed during the day that you find it hard to take even a few minutes to spend with God? Many people set aside time in the early morning before they get caught up in the hectic pace of the day.

I read about a very busy man who somehow manages to find time for giving the day a spiritual jump-start. He's Dr. Ben Carson, chief of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Children's Center, a position he assumed in 1984 when he was only 33 years old.

Here's Carson's testimony about the value of putting spiritual things first: "I've found that having a morning ritual—meditation or some quiet reading time—can set the tone for the whole day. Every morning, I spend a half-hour reading the Bible, especially the book of Proverbs. There's so much wisdom there. During the day, if I encounter a frustrating situation, I think back to one of the verses that I read that morning."

Jesus faced busy days filled with demanding crowds of people. In Mark's gospel we read, "In the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed" (1:35).

Do you take time to read God's Word and pray? Try it in the morning. It can transform your day. —Vernon Grounds

In the stillness of the morning,
Before a busy day of care,
How sweet to be alone with God
Through His holy Word and prayer. —Anderson

Let Christ be first in your thoughts in the morning, and last in your thoughts at night.

Cute! Wish there was a way to FReep while being on a stairmaster!

You even had time to make a hostess graphic, it's a nice fit for me, feels like I live in the Artic Circle up here. lol!

Good morning Angel. Please don't hurt yourself doing all those exercises. I think I will stay in bed and contemplate the upcoming snowstorm and see if I can get somebody to shovel the stuff.

Seriously it is a very good post.

[dansangel]

Oh my goodness! *One* degree????

I guess I have *no* reason to complain about the weather here.

(((((*Warm Hugs*))))) coming your way!

Love the Pledge graphic

Thank you, but I cannot take credit for it other than finding out on the Web. I hope one day to be able to create something similar on my own, but there's still so much to learn!

I saw that, you really need to move South TM. :)
Every morning this month I've woke up thinking...we have to buy a condo in Florida when we retire. LOL!

[The Mayor]

I'd love to move south again, I'd have to do it alone cause my family would divorce me.

I heard that Syracuse is 13 below zero, and SheLion in maine said it was -41
Yes that's 41 below zero. now that's cold!!

[dansangel]

Every morning this month I've woke up thinking...we have to buy a condo in Florida when we retire. LOL!

I've made up my mind to think positively, so I *will* be down there prior to your retirement - LOL

Once we get there, you and Mr. A always have a place to come visit.
