". . . while it was still dark. . . "

Worship Night In America, NYC: Madison Square Gardens. I want to go.  Its Saturday,August 8th.  I have a goal and target in sight.  I can fly in Friday night and  back Monday morning. That is a hotel for the weekend.  This gives me 4 months to get to drop another 30 lbs. This can be done. 

I want you to go with me. 

This year, like all the others, my church held three services on Easter.  Normally, we have two Sunday services: 9:30 am and 11 am.  I am a regular to the 11 am service. When my church requested the members that had been attending a while come to the 7:30 am service for Easter, I initially shot down the idea in my head ( This was what took place in previous years).  I don't know if my spiritual walk has matured or if God just put it on my heart.  I thought twice. I went to the bible ( when in doubt , what better place to go? ):Matthew 28:1; Luke 24:1; John 20:1.  All of them say the same; Mary Magdalene went   "at dawn";" early in the morning"; "while it was still dark" to the tomb. So I went to the 7:30 am service. I am glad I did, there was  pleasant surprise. 

I am now motivated to try and make it to athletic training earlier. My cousin has jumped on the co-signing bandwagon trying to convince me to come to the 5 am training.  My only argument is that it is 5 am, not even the rooster are awake at that hour.  Since, this is not a valid reason, I am going to try this week to make it to the 5 am training. Stay posted. 

I haven't seen Catch all week, I seen him once when I came back from Denver-but not since. Maybe this is a good thing.  I was really enjoying seeing him whenever I would go to the gym.  Perhaps, I enjoy seeing him work out a little too much and this a needed break.
