A newseum!!


This morning I saw on the 6:00 Daybreak News that there is a 'Newseum' opening today in Washington DC. If you know me, you know that I'm a total news junkie. So, I am totally stoked!
The reason I was watching the news was because I woke up a bit before 6 and ran up a hill. Like, a mile-long hill on the outskirts of Atascadero. I went with some ladies from my bible study and they had gone ahead (guessing that I was a no-show) so I had to catch up to them. This meant running. My poor body didn't know what to do. The sun was rising and it was something straight out of 'The Lion King.'
God was really teaching me this morning the difference an hour or two makes in waking up early. I was able to run, which I love; watch the news, which I love; see the sun rise on a hill-top, which I love; lift weights, which I love; and spend time with God--which I love!
Words cannot express, readers.
The only bummer is that I was realizing how much I am going to miss this place. Here on the Central Coast things are silent in the morning and you can almost feel God's mercies being new every morning. One of my favorite lines from a song is Nicole Nordemon's line, " You mercies are new every morning, so let me wake with the dawn. "
How great is my God. The lover of my soul. I know I've been vague with this Chicago thing, so I'll fill you in later. Hah! you must wait. Oh, and about the pictures, it's just a reminder that the Angels are still the best. :)
Grace and Peace
