I am a very early riser...just a habit from my mispent young adulthood. (work)
But I have always loved sunrise and the quiet morning hours for study and prayer...
Sometimes I come on here and another website early in the mornings as well.
I see a few people like me are either early risers or are still up from last night.
Are you a morning person or an evening person?

I want to die like Grandpa, quietly and in his sleep; not like the passengers in his car, they were all panicking and screaming.

GOOOOOOOD morning, this morning, this fine morning, this lovely morning this morning, isn't it a wonderful morning this morning? I love the morning. Do most of my sermon writing and class formation in the morning.
I love the morning, a fresh, a new, a great start to a day, even on Monday's!

M-F I get up around 5, which means I cant stay up much after 11:30-12:00.
Saturday, baseball starts at 9 so I am usually up by 7. Guess this means I am usually an early riser and stay up late.

Somebody unload a paintball gun on this crazy man.

I am usually up by 5:30 every morning and don't get to bed until around 12:30 or 1:00 AM. I have been doing this since high school. I enjoy the peace and quiet of the morning but I am not good at interacting with other people early in the day. I am at my best with people in the afternoon and evening.

I'm very much a morning person, 1 AM, 2 AM, really the best time of the day, unfortunately I am forced to TRY to hit the bed earlier because they want me to be at work late mornings (8-9 AM)

Well...for those of you who are morning people...
I got some good news.
If you will recall (no specific scripture references here) that:
Adam and Eve met with God each morning
Sodom and Gomorah were destroyed.
Jacob wrestled with God and recieved the name Israel
The day's mannah would be fresh on the ground waiting to be picked up.
The walls of Jericho fell.
Gideon won his first battle after several morning's confirmation to fight.
The siege of Jerusalem ended (2Kings)
The stone was rolled away to let the people see the empty tomb.
There are many more...but God seems to have a penchant for mornings. It does seem to be the best time to speak with him as He seems to do a lot of work as the sun rises.

That means I am holier than most of you, since a lot of my time alone with God is in the very EARLIEST hours of the morning... 1:00 AM, 2:00 AM while y'all are sleeping away the most holy moments.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news...but that is sunrise only at Tim's place in the summer...well...maybe three AM.
But it is all about sunrise in the Bible and I think you are still up from the night before...which happens alot as well for some.
TW might like to chime in...but likely he is already in bed...like I am going to be soon.
