On Saturday my daughters and I spent a few hours helping out with our church’s Thanksgiving food drive. We helped sort, pack, and load some of the 230+ food boxes that were given out by our church. We also helped tear down and clean up. I am glad that my daughters know that serving Jesus by serving others is so much fun.

On those rare occasions where I did get up early, I noticed that my productivity was almost always higher, not just in the morning but all throughout the day. And I also noticed a significant feeling of well-being. So being the proactive goal-achiever I was, I set out to become a habitual early riser. I promptly set my alarm clock for 5AM…
… and the next morning, I got up just before noon. Hmmm…
