Got up early this morning–3 AM.
Thinking about lots of things as I prepare for today’s flight to Guayaquil and the beginning of three weeks of mission activities.
Why do people get up early? From my own experience, here is a short list–perhaps in some order of importance, and reflecting my most frequent experiences.
To begin a Sunday of teaching and preaching.
To catch early flights and go on mission or ministry trips.
To study and read, meditate and pray.
To make the drive for another day of graduate classes.
To resume the vigil for someone seriously ill and hospitalized.
To begin a long family vacation.
